Nicola Iacomino

Nicola Iacomino obtained the Bachelor degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Ancona (Ancona, Italy) in July 2014. In July 2017, he obtained the Master degree, summa cum laude, in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Bologna (Bologna, Italy). At the beginning of 2019, he carried out scientific training at the University of Ancona, and in August of the same year he joined the Neuroscience Institute at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) in Milan (Italy), where he worked in the field of neurodegenerative diseases and performed studies unraveling the contribution of VAPB protein to neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He acquired experience in cellular biology, biochemistry and microscopy. In October 2020, N. Iacomino obtained a research fellowship at the Neurology IV – Neuroimmunology and Neuromuscular diseases Unit of Fondazione Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta in Milan (Italy), where he started to work on myasthenia gravis (MG). Currently, he is senior researcher at the same Unit. His research activity is focused on the pathogenic mechanisms associated with autoimmunity in MG, and on the discovery of molecular biomarkers for the development of personalized medicine approaches for the disease treatment.
