Massimiliano Cerletti completed his studies at the University of Milan and underwent postdoctoral training at Harvard University, Cambridge MA, USA. He is known for pioneering research in short-term calorie restriction, which demonstrated that metabolic factors play a critical role in directing muscle stem cell function and influence the efficacy of recovery for injury and engraftment of transplanted cells. In 2009, he was part of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute-GlaxoSmithKline Program, which promoted technology transfer and knowledge exchange between the pharmaceutical industry and academia, leading to the development of new commercial products and drug/gene delivery technologies. After joining University College London (UCL), he became a Group Leader and Development Manager for a multi-consortium project focused on new technological stem cell screening platforms. He has a strong emphasis on clinical translation through novel molecular biology approaches, particularly in gene therapy and RNA therapeutics. His laboratory accommodates a broad range of equipment, providing access to both internal and external research groups and contributing to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
