Short Bio
- 2019-present Associate Professor of Medical Genetics (MED/03) at University of Cagliari (Sardinia), Italy 2019-present Director of the Specialization School in Medical Genetics 2005-2019 Director of the Molecular Genetics Laboratory for the Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases 1986-2004 Group leader Section of Genetics - Department of Experimental Biology - University of Cagliari. His research activity has developed mainly in the fields of Immunogenetics, Cytogenetics, Clinical and Molecular Genetics. Genetics of Human populations: Characterization of MHC and KIRs loci in the Sardinian population. Clinical and Medical Genetics: Genetic and cytogenetic characterization by CGH Arrays of patients with complex syndromic patterns. Clinical Immunogenetics: Identification of genetic factors involved in the outcome of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Implementation of the NGS technology to HLA molecular typing in bone marrow donors registers. Mapping of Genetic traits: Identification of genes for susceptibility to autoimmune disease and immuno-mediated diseases (Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis).Characterization of the genetic variability involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the Sardinian population. Functional role of TDP-43 protein.
