About

Dr. Benedetto Grimaldi obtained in 2001 the degree in Biological Science with a summa cum laude from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”.

After obtained a PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology under the supervision of Dr. Paola Ballario (University of Rome, La Sapienza, Italy), an expert in the study of epigenetics and signal transduction, Dr. Grimaldi transitioned into a postdoctoral fellowship under the mentorship of Prof. Sassone-Corsi (University of California, Irvine, USA), a leader in the field of circadian clock, metabolism and epigenetics.

In 2011 Dr. Grimaldi joined the Drug Discovery and Development (D3) department at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), where he began pursuing his own line of research focused on the study of “clock-related pathologies”, and on the identification and evaluation of novel molecules with “clock modulator” activity for therapeutic applications.
