Luciano Di Croce PhD

Dr. Di Croce’s laboratory addresses the molecular basis of epigenetic alterations during the early phase of tumorigenesis.

Luciano Di Croce obtained his PhD from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. In 1996 he moved to Marburg (Germany) as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Miguel Beato where he became interested in understanding the link between transcription and chromatin structure. After a second postdoctoral stage at the European Institute for Oncology (IEO, Milan) in Milan with PierGiuseppe Pelicci, he established his laboratory at Center for Genomic Regulation -CRG (Barcelona) in 2003, as an ICREA Professor.

Dr. Di Croce’s laboratory addresses the molecular basis of epigenetic alterations during the early phase of tumorigenesis, that is: how epigenetic modifications and chromatin changes are established and, once in place, how they affect gene expression, cell differentiation and transformation.
