Alessio Zippo

Alessio Zippo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cellular, Computational, and Integrative Biology (CIBIO) at the University of Trento. He specializes in epigenetics, chromatin biology, and cancer biology. His research focuses on the role of chromatin in gene regulation, genome stability, and the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cancer progression.

Teaching Activities:

• Chromatin Biology: Explores chromatin function in maintaining cellular identity, tissue homeostasis, and genomic stability. Covers advanced methodologies for studying chromatin and their applications in biotechnology.
• Epigenetics of Cancer: Examines how epigenetic alterations drive tumorigenesis and their implications for targeted therapy design.

Research Interests: Chromatin dynamics, epigenomics, non-coding RNA, gene therapy, tumor biology, and the integration of epigenetic mechanisms with genetic and environmental signals in cancer.
