Biography

Cristina Porcheri is a Senior Teaching and Research Assistant at the Institute of Oral Biology at the University of Zurich. She holds a PhD and specializes in the field of dental medicine, particularly focusing on orofacial development and regeneration. Her research interests are primarily centered on Notch signaling in head and neck epithelium, head and neck cancer, genetic disorders related to orofacial development, and the role of stem cells in homeostasis, pathology, and regeneration. Porcheri's work highlights the complexities and interdependencies of these areas, particularly in relation to head and neck cancers, which are predominantly squamous cell carcinomas arising from epithelial tissues.
