Wanda Lattanzi is a Medical Geneticist and Associate Professor of Experimental Biology. She holds documented scientific expertise on bone biology and craniosynostosis, by studying gene expression profiles, gene expression regulation, and stem cell niche homeostasis. Most of her translational research is devoted to bone disorders, specifically craniosynostosis, and bone regenerative strategies based on tissue engineering. She obtained funds for her research from the National Institutes of Health (USA), the European Commission (FP7. H2020), the Italian Ministry of Health, the Italian Ministry of Education and Research, the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, the Region Latium and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. She is the national representative for the international consortium studying the molecular basis of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (a congenital skull bone disorder), and an active member of the European Reference Network for rare craniofacial and ENT disorders (ERN CRANIO) within the European Joint Program for Rare Diseases.
