O autorze

Gianluca Petris is currently a Marie Sklodowska-Curie European Fellow and Investigator Scientist developing synthetic genomics tools at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom. Prior to that, as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento, Italy, he developed and applied CRISPR technologies and delivery vehicles for the correction of genetic diseases. Dr. Petris published several papers in the field of CRISPR-therapeutics and CRISPR applications, filed four patent families and co-founded a company for the development of gene therapies for genetic diseases. He was awarded a MSc Degree in Medical Biotechnology working on antibody engineering and rotavirus at the University of Trieste, Italy, and a PhD in Life Sciences (Open University, United Kingdom) in recognition of his research on protein folding and protein quality control carried out at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), Trieste, Italy.
