Claudia Ricci is a Research Scientist at the Neurogenetics Laboratory of the Department of Medical, Surgical, and Neurological Sciences of the University of Siena. After obtaining her Ph.D. in Biotechnology, she extended her interest to the genetics of cerebral vascular malformations and motor neuron diseases, particularly amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and increased her expertise in the up-to-date techniques of genetic screening and biomarker research. She also deepened her skills in statistical analysis and bioinformatics tools. She collaborates with the Italian Consortium for the study of genetics in ALS (ITALSGEN) and the Italy-Usa Network and participates in wide studies on the genetic basis of ALS, leading to the identification of several genes related to this disease, including C9orf72, TARDBP, and FUS. Her publication list includes approximately 60 papers in peer-reviewed journals (ORCID 0000-0002-2431-0308). Since 2021, she has been a member of the Scientific Committee of the Master’s degree programs “Regulatory Medical Writer” and “Science Popularization” of the University of Siena.
