Biography

Fabio obtained his M.D. degree from the University of Genoa, Italy. During his undergraduate studies, he investigated the mechanisms underlying chondrocyte differentiation in the lab of Ranieri Cancedda. He joined the Ph.D. program at the European Molecular Biology Laboratories in Heidelberg, where he studied the influence of avian retroviral oncogenes on cellular differentiation under the supervision of Thomas Graf. This interest led him to continue his training at Stanford University in Helen Blau's laboratory, where he pioneered the use of β-galactosidase complementation as a reporter for protein-protein interactions in live cells. In 2001, he moved to the University of British Columbia to establish his own laboratory.
