Enrico obtained his Master’s degree in Functional Genomics at the University of Trieste, Italy, in 2019. His Master’s internship was focused on investigating the action of HMGA1, a chromatin architectural factor, on breast cancer nuclear stiffness. He joined Sophie Polo’s lab in 2019 as a PhD student in the framework of the Innovative Training Network aDDRess. His project focuses on heterochromatin maintenance in response to DNA breaks.
