معرفی
Nazareno Bona is a Researcher at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease, University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the interplay between DNA repair mechanisms and transposable elements, particularly the role of the Human Silencing Hub (HUSH) epigenetic complex in maintaining genomic stability during development.
- Education: PhD in Biological Sciences (University of Cambridge, 2022), Biochemistry degree (University of Rosario, Argentina)
Research Interests: Nazareno investigates how the HUSH complex suppresses LINE-1 retrotransposition and prevents embryonic lethality in mice, expanding earlier work on the Fanconi Anaemia repair pathway’s protective role against transposable element activity. His expertise bridges epigenetics, DNA repair, and genomic integrity.
Grants & Awards:
- César Milstein PhD studentship from the Darwin Trust of Edinburgh
Collaborations: Worked under Dr Gerry Crossan (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology) and currently collaborates with Professor Paul Lehner’s lab at the Cambridge Institute.
