Short Bio
- Clelia Tiziana Storlazzi was born in Martina Franca (Apulia) on the 1st of September 2021. She is a Biologist, graduated in 1995 in Biological Sciences at the University of Bari, and a Geneticist (Specialization in 2001 and Ph.D. title in 2003). She has been an Associate Professor of Genetics at the Department of Biology, University of Bari (Italy), since 2016. She devoted all her research activity to genetic and genomic abnormalities having a deep impact on tumor initiation and development. Particularly, her research interests focus on the identification of novel unconventional transcripts (including long non-coding RNAs, fusion and/or circular RNAs) accompanying genomic aberrations with a role in tumorigenesis. For each of these topics, the results obtained by the applicant provided a significant contribution in the field. She published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals, most of them as first and last author, showing an overall H-index (Scopus) equal to 28 and more than 3,000 citations. She has been a frequent speaker at both national and international conferences and has been the holder of national funding on cancer research (the latest five-year grant by the Italian Association on Cancer Research starting at the beginning of 2022). She has been awarded an EMBO Short Term Fellowship as a visiting scientist at the Department of Clinical Genetics, Lund University Hospital (Sweden) where she spent a one-year research period. Moreover, she documents participation in international research groups and projects (COST Action B19, Cost Action EuGESMA BM0801, LeukemiaNet, and HARMONY consortium).
