Monica Colombo is a permanent researcher of Ospedale Policlinico San Martino. Her studies focus primarily on the characterization of the BCR repertoire in different disorders (initially multiple sclerosis, then chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and on the role of the microenvironment in CLL. In the last years, she has started to characterize extra vesicles and cells of patients with Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma treated with anti-CD19 CAR T-cell. She collaborates with different groups and is responsible for a genomic laboratory participating in experimental design and library preparation of RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq (RApsody and 10x Genomics), and microRNA library.
