Maria Bergamasco

Dr. Maria Bergamasco is an academic staff member at the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre within the Faculty of Science. She holds a PhD in biomedical research from the University of Melbourne (2020) and conducted postdoctoral research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, studying histone acetyltransferase genes in brain development and intellectual disability. Since 2024, she has been part of the Neely lab at the Charles Perkins Centre.

Her research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms in neurodevelopment, developmental biology, and intellectual disability. Key projects include investigating KAT6B's role in histone acetylation, brain development, bone differentiation, and behavioral outcomes in mouse models. Her work bridges molecular biology and clinical implications, aiming to understand and address neurodevelopmental disorders.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed. She contributes to interdisciplinary research at the Charles Perkins Centre, though specific grants or advising roles are not detailed here.
