Staff Scientist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, specialising in chromatin biology and epigenetics.
PhD in Transcription Regulation (Italy) → Postdoctoral fellow in Stem Cell Biology at Burke Medical Research Institute / Weill Cornell Medicine → Staff Scientist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
My research focuses on H1 linker histones and their role in transcriptional and epigenetic regulation, using mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) as a model system as well as other mouse and human cell lines. I combine wet-lab approaches (ChIP-seq, CUT&Tag, PRO-seq, ATAC-seq, Hi-C) with computational analysis in R/Bioconductor.
- Histone H1 biology and chromatin compaction
- Transcriptional pause-release and elongation dynamics
- Multi-omics integration (RNA-seq × ATAC-seq × ChIP-seq)
- Epigenetic regulation in development and disease
