Biography

Luca Pellegrini is a prominent researcher in the field of molecular biology, specializing in the molecular mechanisms of genomic stability. His work primarily focuses on the biochemical processes involved in accurate genome duplication and the repair of DNA lesions that can block DNA synthesis and alter the genetic information encoded within. Pellegrini's research seeks to understand how cells orderly replicate their genomes while coping with DNA damage, utilizing the 3D structural information of protein complexes involved in the duplication process to elucidate their mechanisms at an atomic level. His investigations aim to address fundamental questions related to the control of DNA synthesis in human cells and the role of homologous recombination in assisting this process. Pellegrini's contributions are vital for advancing molecular understanding of genome biology, which has significant implications for medical diagnosis and treatment, especially regarding diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
