Experience & Activities
Dr. MariaColombinograduated in Molecular Biology and obtained the PhD in Biochemistry, Biology and Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Sassari, Italy. She worked as Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at the Laboratory of Genetics at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She is Research’sCNR (National Research Council) of the Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry (ICB)butactually she is affiliateof the Sassari Branch ofthe Institute of Genetic and Biomedical Research (IRGB). Her research activity is correlate to the identification and characterization of somatic and germline alterations in candidate genes involved in susceptibility to neoplasm and/or in tumorigenesis with particular focus in Malignant Melanoma and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. Dr. Colombinois author of more than 42peer-reviewed publications (Scopus H-index: 20, WoS H-index: 19) and several book chapters. She has been invited as Speakerin more than 10Congresses in past ten years
