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
