Davide Berta

Davide Berta is a Supervisor in the Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine at the University of Helsinki. His research focuses on Medical Biotechnology and Genetics, with a particular emphasis on the molecular mechanisms underlying uterine leiomyomas and cancer-related genetic mutations.

• University: University of Helsinki
• Role: Supervisor in Biomedicine Doctoral Programme

Research Interests: Dr. Berta’s work explores chromatin dynamics, histone modifications, and germline variants in oncogenic processes. Key areas include epigenetic regulation, transcriptional control, and tumorigenesis in uterine and multi-cancer phenotypes.

Publication Trends: His recent studies (2019–2025) investigate the role of KDM4C mutations in multi-cancer syndromes, H2A.Z chromatin deposition in uterine fibroids, and TET2 haploinsufficiency in human phenotypes. Collaborations with the FinnGen project and researchers like Aaltonen and Heikinheimo highlight his contributions to genomic instability and cancer genetics.

Collaborations & Teams: Dr. Berta collaborates with interdisciplinary teams at the University of Helsinki, including the FinnGen project, focusing on large-scale genomic analyses and translational research in gynecological and oncological disorders.
