Biography

Marco Trizzino is an Associate Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. His research focuses on developmental and evolutionary genomics, particularly the role of transposable elements in human-specific traits and developmental gene regulatory networks. Marco Trizzino completed his PhD at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, followed by postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania and Wistar Institute, where he investigated mutations in genes encoding chromatin-associated proteins and their effects on craniofacial neural development. His innovative approach combines experimental and computational genomics, using induced pluripotent stem cells from various primate species and patients affected by neurodevelopmental syndromes. Marco's work has significant implications for understanding the genetic underpinnings of developmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
