Fabrizio d’Adda di Fagagna , PhD

I am a molecular and cell biologist with twenty years of experience as a research group leader.

I have devoted my professional life to understand the critical biological mechanisms underlying aging and cancer. I work at IFOM (Milan) and IGM-CNR (Pavia) in Italy.

Together with my group, we study the connection between DNA damage and disease. My team and I are widely recognized for our discoveries in telomere biology and cellular senescence.

I have been awarded the European Research Council (ERC) advanced grant twice and I am a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).
