Biography

Claudia Manzoni is a Lecturer in Translational Neuroscience at University College London. Over the past decade, her research has focused on complex degenerative disorders of the brain, particularly targeting Parkinson’s disease and Frontotemporal dementia. She began her career as a biochemist, emphasizing the importance of cellular waste disposal in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. Her deep interest in bioinformatics emerged as she recognized the challenges in translating genetic research into functional knowledge pertinent to human health. Manzoni’s work seeks to improve the bidirectional flow of information between genetic insights and functional biology, essential for advancing biomedical research. This effort aims to ease the interpretation and validation of genetic data through systems biology pipelines and -omics data processing. Claudia is involved in various active grants aimed at uncovering mechanisms related to Alzheimer’s disease and validating potential therapeutic targets for Parkinson’s disease. Her previous grants underscore her contributions to network analysis of biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases.
