Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatteo Benelli is an associate professor in Florence with 8 years of experience at the intersection of cancer genomics, epigenomics and integrative bioinformatics. He leads translational research as Co-PI of the international AURORA breast cancer program, combining paired tissue and cell-free DNA profiling to dissect therapy response and resistance. Previously he built and managed bioinformatics teams in hospital and academic settings, translating complex genomic data into clinically relevant insights. Trained as a physicist with a PhD in nonlinear dynamics and complex systems, he brings a quantitative, systems-level perspective to cancer computational biology. Based in Italy, he bridges clinical oncology and computational method development, with a track record of turning heterogeneous omics datasets into actionable hypotheses. An understated strength is his ability to navigate both hospital operational constraints and rigorous academic research, accelerating translational impact.
