Marta Biagioli

Marta Biagioli is a Researcher in Genetics at the Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento. Her work focuses on Huntington's disease and neurodevelopmental disorders, combining molecular genetics, RNA biology, and translational research.

Her research investigates RNA biogenesis defects in Huntington’s disease, including circular RNAs (circHTT) and SINEUP antisense RNAs. She explores how CAG repeat expansions alter splicing dynamics and neuronal vulnerability, with implications for biomarker development and RNA-based therapies.

Key trends in her publications reveal expertise in non-coding RNA, neurogenetic mechanisms, and epigenetic regulation. Her work spans model systems, transcriptomic analysis, and therapeutic design for diseases like Huntington’s and autism.

Marta’s laboratory at CIBIO integrates interdisciplinary approaches to decode complex disease phenotypes. She actively engages in science communication, bridging academic research with public understanding through platforms like #UniTrentoStories.
