Elisa Frullanti

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 an Associate Professor of Genetics (05/I1) at University of Siena. From 2019, she is group leader of a research project funded by Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) within the Projects of National Interest (Progetti di Ricerca di Interesse Nazionale) PRIN 2017. Her main research interests deal with the dissection of molecular and genetic bases of cancer as well as in other diseases following innovative “omics” approaches such as genomic and transcriptomic analyses. Up to know, my research activity is substantiated by 55 original articles with a total IF of 237.965 and H-index of 15. I am first author of 9/55 and last author of 11/55.
