Antonio Adamo

Associate Professor of Bioscience,KAUST

Biography

Professor Adamo's research interests focus on the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model the onset and progression of human disorders linked to copy number variations “in a dish.” His team developed the largest cohort of Klinefelter syndrome (karyotype 47,XXY) and high-grade X aneuploid iPSCs (karyotype 48,XXXY and 49,XXXXY) that he uses to study the molecular dysregulations associated with X chromosome aneuploidy during the earliest stages of human development. Professor Adamo’s team combines reprogramming, organoid derivation, and genome editing techniques with a multi-omics approach to identify the transcriptional and epigenetic signatures underlying human diseases.
