Francesca Telese is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California San Diego. She earned her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Naples Federico II in Italy in 2007 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Neuroepigenetics at UCSD in 2013. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation that contribute to neuronal plasticity and behavior, particularly in the context of substance use disorders. By employing an interdisciplinary approach that combines molecular, cellular, and behavioral studies with advanced functional genomics techniques, she aims to uncover the gene regulatory mechanisms related to addiction. Her ongoing projects include investigating the impact of opioids on brain systems and the epigenetic regulation of behaviors associated with substance use disorders. Her work is funded by multiple NIH grants, and she actively mentors graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in her lab.
