Biography
Biography
Dr. Colnaghi moved to the United States after graduating in Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics to pursue a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology from New York University. Here, he began to study the proteins of the ubiquitin family, fundamental regulators of cellular biological processes. He then continued his education with a post-doc in neuroscience at Columbia University, where he studied the molecular mechanisms of memory and how they can be modified by ubiquitin and other proteins of the same family. Now, using approaches from computational biology, cell biology, molecular biology, neuroscience and physiology, he studies the role of the ubiquitin family in the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease, a complex neurological condition characterized by the loss of synapses and brain neurons. Dr. Colnaghi has published in international scientific journals such as Neuron, Molecular Cell, Blood, Science Advances and Cell Reports and is the recipient of national and international grants.
