Roberta Noberini is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry (BIOS-07/A) in the Department of Life Sciences, Health, and Health Professions at “Link Campus University.”

She earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in Biological Sciences at the University of Parma, where she subsequently earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Between 2005 and 2012, she worked at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in La Jolla, California, initially as a visiting Ph.D. student and subsequently as a postdoctoral fellow and staff scientist. During this period, she studied the molecular mechanisms involved in tumor progression, with a particular focus on Eph receptors and the development and characterization of compounds and peptides with therapeutic potential.

In 2012, she returned to Italy, continuing her scientific career at the Italian Institute of Technology and subsequently at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) in Milan.

Her current scientific interests focus on tumor epigenetics and proteomics, with a particular emphasis on the study of post-translational modifications of histones and their role in tumor progression and response to therapies. She uses mass spectrometry and proteomic and multi-omic approaches applied to clinical samples to characterize molecular alterations associated with tumors and to identify biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.

She served as Principal Investigator on a Targeted Research project funded by the Ministry of Health and is involved in the training and co-supervision of doctoral and master’s students. She is an editor of a volume in the Methods in Molecular Biology series and the author of over 70 scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals, with a Scopus H-index of 26 and over 1.900 citations.
