FRULLANTI ELISA

Elisa Frullanti completed a PhD in Cancer Genetics of Open University of London at the affiliated center Isitituto Nazionale Tumori (INT, Milan, Italy). She has been working in the field of lung cancer (LC) genetics for 10 years first in Milan, at INT (2006-2012), and then at University of Siena (2013-today) in the Medical Genetics Unit directed by Prof. A. Renieri. In INT she conducted her research project aimed to identify functional genetic elements associated with LC prognosis through genome wide association studies, genetic linkage and transcriptome studies winning in 2010 an AIRC Triennal Fellowship. In 2011 she won the Galilei Young Research Scientist Award Rotary International. She is currently a Researcher of Medical Genetics at University of Siena. Her main research interests were the dissection of molecular and genetic bases of LC in never smoker young patients and in other diseases following an innovative “omics” approach that integrate genomic and transcriptomic data.
