Biogram
Professor Giovanna Lattanzi is a Research Director at Italian National Research Council (CNR).
Since 2013, she is head of the CNR Institute of Molecular Genetics „Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza” Unit of Bologna.
Her research activity focuses on cell biology of lamins and nuclear envelope proteins and pathogenetic mechanisms of lamin-related diseases (laminopathies), including type 2 Familial Partial Lipodystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy and Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.
Her main research achievements are the involvement of prelamin A in pathological and physiological pathways and the identification of drugs able to rescue some pathogenetic mechanisms of laminopathies. Prof. Lattanzi published more than 150 scientific papers.
In 2009, Prof. Lattanzi founded the Italian Network for Laminopathies (NIL) and she is currently President of NIL association. She in member of the European Consortium for Lipodystrophies (ECLiP), the European Pediatric Translational Research Infrastructure (EPTRI) and the Italian Association of Myology (AIM). She serves as editorial board member and reviewer for scientific journals.
She organized several (more than 20) national and international meetings on laminopathies and related topics. She is actively collaborating with international centers involved in laminopathy and intermediate filament research including Edinburgh University, Vienna Biozentrum, INSERM Myology Institute (Paris), CNIC for cardiovascular research – Madrid, Santiago de Compostela University Endocrinology Dept., University of Wroclaw, University of Oslo, University of Rome Tor Vergata Dept. of Genetics, and the partners of the Italian Network for Laminopathies.
