Biography
Andrea Randi has her expertise in evaluation of pesticides mechanisms of action that act as endocrine disruptors, specifically those ligand compounds of the aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR). In her laboratory, she is developing two main lines of work, one related to the induced effects by these compounds in the mammary gland and another in the uterus. In mammary gland, her interest is to investigate the different processes of breast cancer progression, such as proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, invasion and metastasis, analyzing the signaling pathways related with growth factor receptors, AhR and estrogen receptors. On the other hand, in the uterus, she is engaged in analyzing the effects on the development of endometriosis, evaluating the growth of endometriotic lesions, proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis.
