Raffaella Nativio

I joined Imperial College as a lecturer (equivalent to assistant professor) and group leader at the Dementia Research Institute (DRI) in October 2020. I obtained my PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Cambridge, where I worked on 3D genome conformation in genomic imprinting. During my postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of Dr Shelley Berger at the University of Pennsylvania, I studied the role of epigenetics in healthy aging and neurodegeneration, a line of research that we continue to explore in our research program at Imperial.
