Elisa Salviato

I completed my graduation in Statistics and Information Technologies at the University of Padua in 2013. My thesis focused on developing statistical methods for studying interactions between miRNA-mRNA in ovarian cancer. Subsequently, I pursued a PhD in Biosciences (Genetics, Genomics, and Bioinformatics) at the University of Padua under the guidance of Prof. Chiara Romualdi. During this time, I developed an interest in basic research, particularly in statistical models for analyzing transcriptomic data. I also conducted research in the field of oncology, specifically in identifying circulating biomarkers in ovarian and head and neck tumors.

After completing my PhD, I joined Dr. Francesco Ferrari's computational biology group at the FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan in 2018. Here, I focused on integrating epigenomic data and developing technologies for studying chromatin solubility. I also received a scholarship from the AIRC (Italian Cancer Research Association) to study the impact of non-coding mutations in specific regulatory elements (enhancers) on the 3D conformation of chromatin in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Since 2023, I have been working as a postdoc in the translational research laboratory, where I am involved in developing methods for analyzing data from single-cell sequencing. My research interests encompass the development of statistical models for integrating multi-omics data and the study of regular networks in both basic and clinical research related to breast cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, ovarian cancer, and head and neck cancer).
