Dr. Federica Rubbino is a molecular biologist with a PhD in Molecular and Experimental Medicine from Humanitas University and advanced training in biostatistics and epidemiology. Her research focuses on gastrointestinal immunopathology, cancer biology, and inflammation, with a special interest in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, tumor microenvironment, and mucosal barrier integrity in colorectal and pancreatic cancers as well as inflammatory bowel diseases. Currently a staff scientist at the Lab of Macrophage Dynamics (Humanitas Research Hospital), Dr. Rubbino integrates molecular biology, cellular models, animal studies, and advanced omics approaches, including single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, to dissect disease mechanisms and identify translational targets. Her academic career includes visiting research at Erasmus MC and Leiden University Medical Center, VIB-KU Leuven, and adjunct teaching in medical genetics. With her publications and several oral presentations at major conferences (UEG, EPC, AISP), Dr. Rubbino’s work is marked by multidisciplinary collaboration, translational relevance, and a commitment to advancing precision medicine approaches in gastrointestinal and cancer research.
