Di Resta Chiara Ricercatore tempo determinato tipo bMedicineMED/05

Doctor Chiara Di Resta obtained a degree in Biological Sciences (2005) and the PhD in Translational and Molecular Medicine (2008) at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy). Then, she obtained a Specialization in Clinical Pathology (2016) at the University of Pavia (Italy). She holds the position of Researcher (rtd) at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University since 2015, carrying out teaching activities in the field of clinical laboratory medicine. Since 2016, she is a member of the Specialization School in Clinical Pathology and Clinical Biochemistry at UniSR and she holds the role of supervisor or co-supervisor in several students’ thesis works.

 

Her main research activity is focused on the application of molecular medicine for the study of inherited diseases.  In particular, the main purpose of her studies is the characterization of the molecular basis of the genetic cardiac forms, which are still unknown. Indeed, the most advanced molecular techniques and new sequencing approaches of the post-genomic era offer the possibility of identifying new causative genes and novel mutations. So, her main laboratory activities are therefore characterized by close collaboration with clinicians in molecular and translational research projects. Her work has been published in relevant scientific journals.

Moreover, she has contributed to the field of Personalized Medicine, participating in the activities of the dedicated working group (WG-PLM) of the European Federation of Laboratory Medicine (EFLM).
