IMBRIANO Carol

Carol Imbriano is an Associate Professor of Genetics at the Department of Life Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. She graduated with honors in Biological Sciences from the University of Milan and conducted her research at DIBIT – San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, and at the Department of Genetics and Microbial Biology, University of Milan. She earned her PhD in Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine in 2003 at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. In 2005, she founded her Molecular Genetics research group, and in 2017 she was appointed Associate Professor. In the same year, she obtained national qualification in Genetics as Full Professor.

Her research focuses on the transcription factor NF-Y and its alternatively spliced isoforms, which are involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and tumor progression. Her recent studies have highlighted how different splicing forms can be used as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Since 2009, she has coordinated competitive national and international projects (AIRC, AFM-Telethon, Fondazione Vignola) and has supervised over 60 undergraduate theses, 6 PhD students, and 5 postdoctoral researchers who have received international and national fellowships (EMBO, AIRC, FUV).
