Beatrice Bodega graduated in Medical Biotechnology in 2003 and obtained a PhD in Biotechnology Applied to Medical Sciences at in 2006 at University of Milan.

She then moved to Rome in 2009 in the laboratory of Valerio Orlando (Dulbecco Telethon Institute at the Santa Lucia Foundation) to specialize in epigenetics and in investigating the role of transposable elements (LINE1) in human cell differentiation.

In 2014, she started her independent career as Group Leader at INGM. Since 2021 she is Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at University of Milan.

Since 20 years she has been interested in understanding the molecular function of non-coding DNA, in particular in the modulation of cellular processes (i.e. differentiation, homeostasis, plasticity) and how this portion of the genome modulates the response to the environment, the adaptation and progression of human diseases.

Her laboratory combines molecular, genomic and advanced imaging approaches with computational biology to describe the molecular mechanisms of DNA repetitive sequences, particularly the Transposable Elements, in human biology with a strong focus on translational aspects in biomedical research.
