2026 summer call PhD selections – AVAILABLE POSITIONS

The lab. has recently been established at the Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine and aims at developing novel tools and models to recapitulate the genomic complexity of cancer cells. We are particularly interested in how catastrophic processes, like chromothripsis, can shape the evolution of the cancer genome during the different steps of tumorigenesis. The lab takes advantages of CRISPR engineering tools to design innovative model systems to crack the biology of the functional products of chromothripsis events, including the formation of complex heavily rearranged extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs). Our long-term goal is to identify novel vulnerabilities associated with these chromosomal aberrations and translate this knowledge to the development of more effective therapies for patients with aggressive ecDNA- and chomothripsis-driven tumors.
