Giorgini, Flaviano - University of Leicester - School of Biological Sciences

个人简介

Flaviano Giorgini grew up amidst the corn fields of Indiana and pursued a BSc degree in Biological Sciences (with an emphasis in Genetics) at Purdue University. He obtained a MA degree in Molecular Genetics at Washington University in Saint Louis and a PhD in Genetics at the University of Washington in Seattle. His interest in neurodegeneration research began as a Senior Fellow in the Department of Pharmacology (University of Washington). His work during this time, combined with his background in genetics and model organisms, formed the basis for his current research in neurogenetics at the University of Leicester. He started as a Lecturer in the Department of Genetics in 2006, was promoted to Reader in Neurogenetics in 2012, as has been Professor of Neurogenetics since 2015.
