Giacomo Cavalli

Giacomo Cavalli studied Biology at Parma University in Italy, he took his PhD in natural sciences at the ETH Zürich, Switzerland in 1994, and did his post-doc in the lab of Renato Paro, at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, from 1995 to 1998. In 1999, he became junior group leader at IGH in Montpellier, France. In 2002, he was made senior PI, in 2007 he became head of the Genome Dynamics department at IGH and he directed the Institute from 2011 to 2014.Giacomo Cavalli discovered transgenerational inheritance of chromatin states in metazoan by working on Polycomb and Trithorax group proteins in Drosophila during his post doc in the lab of Renato Paro.The Cavalli lab has shown that the 3D structure of chromosomes can be epigenetically heritable and that it contributes to genome regulation. Furthermore, they provided the first high-resolution description of the principles of genome folding in metazoans.Finally, the Cavalli lab showed that Polycomb proteins regulate cell proliferation and have tumor suppression activity in flies. 活动家作为专业第三方嘉宾邀约平台，依托互联网公开数据为您提供嘉宾信息展示服务。若您发现嘉宾信息需要更新或移除，请发送邮件或联系客服。 我们专注于根据您的具体需求（包括演讲议题、会议日期及活动预算等），为您精准匹配各领域专业嘉宾。 为高效服务，建议您提前准备好详细活动信息，并拨打客服电话：18911802888（工作日9:00-18:00）。 温馨提示：本服务仅限嘉宾邀约相关事宜，其他需求暂不处理，感谢您的理解与配合。
