Elisa Vitiello
Postdoctoral Fellow at Department of Biochemistry, Oxford (Nov 2020-)
CRUKPostdoctoral Fellow (Oct 2019-Oct 2020)
Elisa received her Bachelor and Master Degree in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Studies (Torino, Italy). She then joined the PhD programme of the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Biology (LMCB) at the University College London (UCL), in London (UK). Here, she studied the role of the centrosomes and spindle bodies in coordinating tissue polarity and DNA partitioning during mitosis- a crucial crosstalk in the prevention of chromosome segregation errors. She continued this line of work when joining the lab of Martial Balland, at the Department of Interdisciplinary Physics in Grenoble (France), where she adopted a physics point of view and investigated how tissue and cell forces affected the centrosome positioning and activity. Elisa is now working in the laboratory of Dr. Fanni Gergely, at the Department of Biochemistry of Oxford University (Oxford, UK), where she currently investigates how and if the centrosome composition changes in different cell types and tissues. Check out her recent paper on our recent publications page.
