Marta Russo

Marta Russo is a Postdoctoral Fellow at IEO Istituto Europeo di Oncologia since March 2020, where the focus is on investigating the molecular mechanisms of the Restrictor Complex, a key regulator of transcription termination in metazoans. This research aims to illuminate the importance of controlling non-coding RNA accumulation to prevent DNA damage and transformation. Prior experience includes a PhD at Humanitas University from December 2016 to March 2020, culminating in the discovery of the Restrictor Complex and its role in regulating non-coding RNA production in mammalian cells. Marta Russo holds a Laurea Magistrale in Scienze biomolecolari e cellulari and a Laurea triennale in Biologia/Scienze biologiche from Università degli Studi di Ferrara.
