Federico M. Giorgi
I am a research scientist with experimental molecular biology education and nine years of experience in the Bioinformatics field. My main interest is unraveling the mechanisms of cellular regulation through the analysis of transcriptomic and genomic data. Specifically, I’ve worked for four years on studying the mechanisms of plant cell wall synthesis and response to hypoxia, and my current main project involves identifying early markers of tumorigenesis through the integration of gene expression and mutational data. To achieve my research goals I favor an integrative theoretical/experimental approach.
