Diletta Di Mitri

Biography

I got my bachelor degree cum laude in Medical Biotechnology at the University of Bologna in 2004. I did my research training at the S. Orsola Hospital working on hematopoietic stem cells. Throughout my research training I learnt most of the principal techniques of molecular and cell biology. In 2005 I won a fellowship at the Santa Lucia Foundation in Rome, and here I obtained my PhD degree in Neuroimmunology in 2008 working on human natural T regulatory cells in Multiple sclerosis. The result of this period is published in two papers that appeared in Blood (2007, 2009) and one paper as first author accepted by PlosOne (2011). Soon after I moved to the University College London (UCL) to join the group of prof. Arne Akbar as a post-doctoral fellow. For 18 months I led a project on the study of senescence in T lymphocytes. The ensemble of this work is the subject of an article as first author that appeared in the Journal of Immunology (2011). After completing my project at the UCL I have been offered to work at the Institute for oncology research at Bellinzona, Switzerland (2012). At the moment I'm leading a project on the immune microenvironment in prostate cancer. Mouse modeling, tumor immunology and senescence are my main fields of research. The result of this first period spent in Switzerland is a first name in Nature (2014). Settori di competenza: Tumor Immunology, senescence
