Biography

Maurizio Chioccioli is an Assistant Professor in Genetics within the Department of Comparative Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. His research primarily focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern tissue regeneration and repair in the lungs, with an emphasis on pathways hijacked in various diseases. His expertise spans multiple areas, including biophysics, live-imaging microscopy, molecular biology, and genetics, particularly in relation to human respiratory diseases. Chioccioli obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Florence and subsequently earned a PhD from the Institute of Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland in Australia. He performed postdoctoral studies at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, where he investigated the biophysical basis of dynamic ciliary beating in respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia. In 2018, he joined the lab of Naftali Kaminski at Yale, focusing on developing techniques to investigate lung remodeling and repair. He was appointed Assistant Professor in September 2023.
