Criscuolo Elena Ricercatore tempo determinato tipo aMedicineMED/07 Microbiologia e Microbiologia clinica

Short narrative

Elena Criscuolo obtained her PhD in Molecular Medicine at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in 2016, working on the antibody response elicited during the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection and the protection conferred in vivo by human monoclonal antibodies. Then, she remained in Massimo Clementi’s laboratory of Microbiology and Virology as a postdoctoral research fellow, working on synergy evaluation of anti-herpetic compounds acting on different steps of the virus life cycle, on the characterization of sera from HSV infected subjects, and modeling HSV reactivation dynamics in a patterned human neuron-to-keratinocyte circuit reconstituted in a microfluidic device. Then, she focused her work also on the characterization of entry mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2, the evaluation of antiviral drugs against the infection, and the dissection of the humoral response of COVID-19 patients.
