معرفی
Cristina Cheroni is a computational biologist with over 15 years of experience in neurobiology, currently serving as Senior Manager of the Cell Reference Brain Atlas Scientific Service Unit (CEREBRA) at Human Technopole since October 2022. Prior to this, she was a Senior Computational Biologist in Prof. Testa's research group (2017–2022), focusing on neurodevelopmental disorders linked to genetic lesions or environmental chemicals.
- PhD in Biomolecular and Life Sciences from the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory at the M. Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research (focused on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Research at the National Institute of Molecular Genetics integrating clinical and experimental omics data
- Current work on single-cell resolution datasets and cerebral organoids
Her research spans computational biology applied to molecular neurobiology, with a focus on neurodevelopmental disorders like Williams-Beuren syndrome and autism. She employs brain organoids and integrative omics approaches to dissect genetic and environmental influences on neurogenesis and social behavior.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding GTF2I dosage effects in 7q11.23 disorders, CHD8 haploinsufficiency in autism, and benchmarking brain organoid models. Her work intersects neuroscience, genetics, and environmental science, emphasizing translational insights into neurodevelopmental mechanisms.
As no formal awards, grants, or student mentoring details are explicitly provided in the text, these aspects remain unlisted. Her affiliations include M. Negri Institute, National Institute of Molecular Genetics, and Human Technopole.
