Bio
Paulius Grigaravicius is a biophysicist with expertise in cytometry and imaging in the context of genomic instability. His work in the Valenzano Lab is aimed at molecular phenotyping of killifish pre-clinical models, with a particular focus on the interplay between neurodegenerative diseases and aging. He applies cutting-edge screening techniques to cells and to Nothobranchius furzeri, a vertebrate that offers a compressed timescale for studying accelerated aging.
