Laura Poliseno

Dr. Laura Poliseno received her doctorate in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Pisa, Italy. She has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, later starting a second post doc fellowship at NYU Langone. Laura is currently a Principal Investigator within the Oncogenomics unit at ISPRO and a researcher at the Institute of Clinical Physiology of the National Research Council in Pisa. Dr. Poliseno’s research has mostly been centered on non-coding RNAs (miRNA, pseudogenes, ceRNAS) and their respective roles in cancer. Recently, her lab has studied the coding and non-coding genetic network that regulates the BRAF and ERK kinase pathways in melanoma. Specifically, the inhibitory effects of the miR-204/miR-211 miRNAs on the BRAF pathway as a potential onco-suppresive agent. She has also studied the use of an attenuated L. monocytogenes, Lm(at)-LLO, as an antitumor agent potentially combining the effects of targeted and immunotherapeutic techniques. Dr. Poliseno aims to translate her findings in in vitro/in vivo melanoma models for related therapies.
