Daniela PalaciosDr. Daniela Palacios, PhD, is the director of the Epigenetics and Signal Transduction Laboratory at Fondazione Santa Lucia in Rome, Italy. She was trained as a molecular biologist in top academic and health institutions located in four different counries (Spain, UK, Italy, and USA). Research in her laboratory integrates state-of-the-art genomic and proteomic approaches with biochemistry, imaging, and novel RNA-based nanotechnologies to study how environmental stimuli modulate the epigenome during tissue regeneration and oncogenic transformation. The goal of the laboratory is to integrate basic research with innovative technological approaches to develop new tools for biomedical applications.

Dr. Palacios has authored over 20 peer-reviewed articles and reviews on the subjects of epigenetics, development, and regeneration, including a chapter in Medical Epigenetics. In the past, she has participated as editor and guest editor to several journals within the fields of development and genomics. Read More Read Less
