Elisabetta Mattioli

Graduated in Biological Sciences in July 2000 at the University of Bologna, Elisabetta Mattioli received the PhD in Molecolar cytodifferentiation in 2004 at the same University. From 2000 to 2008 she has been working as a research biologist at the Laboratory of Cellular Biology Musculoskeletal of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute in Bologna. Research Topic: Study of proteins involved in musculoskeletal system diseases, in particular emerin and lamin A/C responsible for Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. She has been studying also molecular pathways involved in progeroid syndromes, such as HGPS. From 2008 to present: recruitment as Reasearcher (permanent position) at the Institute of Molecular Genetics - National Research Council (IGM-CNR). Research Topic : Study of proteins and molecular pathways involved in rare genetic diseases. In particular she has been studying genetic diseases caused by LMNA gene mutations, called laminopathies. Technical skills: molecolar biology, biochemical analysis, immunocytochemistry and cell cultures. In particular: preparation of animal and human primary cultures from musculoskeletal and skin samples.
