Esteban O. Mazzoni is a professor in the Department of Cell Biology at New York University. His research focuses on understanding how stem cells acquire the functions required for multicellular organisms, like the complex human body. He aims to elucidate how cells change and develop, controlling their fate for future clinical applications. His research combines scientific approaches to deepen the understanding of cell differentiation, utilizing cutting-edge genomic and tissue culture technologies to tackle fundamental questions about how cells evolve. He investigates how DNA sequences can act as temporary signals or permanent memories and how transcription factors drive cell differentiation. Mazzoni is also interested in understanding why neurons are particularly susceptible to neurodegeneration and applies innovative tools and techniques to study cell differentiation and neuronal physiology on a scale that allows for quick analysis of mammalian cell differentiation and human genetic diversity.
