Stefano Donega, PhD

Postdoc fellow
National Institute on Aging
Baltimore, Maryland, United States

I have gained diverse experiences and expertise in biology, with a main focus on splicing, aging, evolutionary biology, and neurosciences. I graduated from the University of Ferrara (Italy) with a degree in Biological Sciences and completed the Master Mundus program in Evolutionary Biology (MEME), which granted me a double Master degree from the University of Montpellier (France) and Groningen (The Netherlands). I then completed a second Master's degree in Neurosciences - with honors - at University of Trieste (Italy), where I worked in a Telethon lab studying therapies for Rett syndrome. I pursued my Ph.D. degree at the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in collaboration with the University of Ferrara, where I worked on RNA-based therapies with engineered U1snRNA in exon skipping diseases, completing my Ph.D. degree - cum Laude. Currently, I am a Post-doctoral fellow at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in Baltimore, USA, under the mentorship of Dr. Ferrucci, to investigate the relationship between muscle energetics and differential splicing, with a focus on resilience mechanisms that counteract mitochondrial decline in the context of aging.
