Dr. Marianna Vitiello is a Researcher at the Department of Biology, University of Pisa, Italy. She has extensive expertise in molecular and cellular biology, with a strong focus on cancer research, particularly multiple myeloma and melanoma. Her research spans the use of genomic technologies, including next-generation sequencing (NGS), CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, and liquid biopsy approaches to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying tumor progression and drug resistance. She has extensive experience in preclinical and translational research, including the use of patient-derived samples and in vivo models. Dr. Vitiello has been recognized with several prestigious fellowships, including the CNR Short Term Mobility fellowship and the EMBO short-term fellowship, both conducted at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Her research has been published in leading journals, reflecting her contributions to advancing cancer genomics and oncology.
