Tissue Preservation and Biobanking

Vittorio Sebastiano is a Stem Cell and Developmental Biology Expert. His research focuses on dissecting the mechanisms that regulate nuclear reprogramming with the goal to use patient specific stem cells for the development of clinically relevant platforms for the treatment and the modeling of pediatric orphan diseases. He has been among the pioneers in gene therapy by in situ specific genome modification of iPSC derived from patients affected by Sickle Cell Anemia and Epidermolysis Bullosa. Currently, he is utilizing iPSCs to model developmental disorders and he is implementing clinical platforms to develop cell therapeutics for Precision Medicine.
