معرفی
Livia Tomasini is a Researcher at Yale University's Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Child Study Center and the Program in Neurodevelopment and Regeneration Vaccarino Lab. Her work focuses on neurodevelopmental processes, stem cell biology, and genomic analysis of somatic mutations. She collaborates closely with prominent researchers like Flora Vaccarino and Alexej Abyzov on projects involving brain organoid modeling, cell lineage tracing, and autism spectrum disorder mechanisms.
Her research interests span neurodevelopmental disorders, regenerative medicine, and the application of genomic tools to study cellular processes. Notable contributions include studies on human brain region specification in organoids, transgenerational mutation transmission, and autism-related neuronal subtype imbalances. Recent work emphasizes computational methods for analyzing somatic mutations and cell lineage dynamics in both normal development and disease contexts.
Livia has been recognized for long-term service at the Yale Child Study Center, as highlighted in a 2025 news event. Her research integrates molecular genetics, stem cell technologies, and computational biology to address fundamental questions in developmental neuroscience and human health.
