Gritti Angela

Prof. Angela Gritti is a leading researcher and educator at the Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, where she holds a Professor position in the Department of Human Histology and Embryology. Her work focuses on human iPSC-based modeling of neurogenetic disorders and innate immune responses in gene therapy.

• Current teaching: Human Histology (International MD Program 2025), Morfologia Umana II, and multiple Istologia courses
• Research networks: NIH-funded Bespoke Gene Therapy Consortium (co-PI), EJPRD NG4Leuko project (unit leader)

Scientific Expertise:

• Specializes in pluripotent stem cell applications for lysosomal storage diseases
• Pioneering AAV vector toxicity and neuroinflammatory mechanisms research
• Developed combined gene/cell therapy approaches for leukodystrophies

Publication Trends: Recent work investigates neural stem cell safety, radial glia signatures in iPSC models, and vector-induced DNA damage in CNS contexts.

Professional Memberships:

• International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) since 2023
• European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ESGCT) since 2015
• American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) since 2010
