Eugenia Ricciardelli

I graduated in Marine Biology at Università Politecnica delle Marche and during my Master I had the chance to carry out part of my experimental thesis at University of California, San Diego. Here is where I first started learning about Next Generation sequencing. Before joining Human Technopole, I worked for almost 10 years as a technician in the Genomics Facility at UCSD where I had the opportunity to work in a fast-paced genomics services lab using state of the art genomic technologies.

    Competing gene regulatory networks drive naive and memory B cell differentiation

    Elucidating the gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that control human B cell differentiation is crucial for understanding immune responses to infection, vaccination, and autoimmunity. Here, we map the GRNs guiding naive and memory B cell differentiation. Early in activation, both cell types engage highly similar GRNs. However, at later stages, naive B cells diverge into two […]

    RAGE engagement by SARS-CoV-2 enables monocyte infection and underlies COVID-19 severity

    The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has fueled the COVID-19 pandemic with its enduring medical and socioeconomic challenges because of subsequent waves and long-term consequences of great concern. Here, we chart the molecular basis of COVID-19 pathogenesis by analyzing patients’ immune responses at single-cell resolution across disease course and severity. This […]
