Principal Investigator
Alessandro Bertero trained with the late Guido Tarone on Melusin signalling in cardiac hypertrophy, earning his BSc and MSc in Turin, then completed an MRes and PhD at the University of Cambridge with Ludovic Vallier, uncovering how TGF-β signalling directs early human pluripotent stem-cell differentiation. As a postdoctoral researcher with Chuck Murry at the University of Washington, he revealed how 3D chromatin organization shapes human cardiogenesis. In 2021 he received the Giovanni Armenise–Harvard Career Development Award to establish his independent lab in Italy
