Dr. Mariagrazia Uguccioni has been a Group Leader at the IRB since its creation in 2000 and Vice Director of the Institute since 2010. She received a degree in Medicine from the University of Bologna (IT) where she specialised in Haematology. She trained as postdoctoral fellow at the Theodor Kocher Institute, University of Bern before joining the IRB. She is member of the Bologna Academy of Science. Her research has covered aspects of human haematology and immunology: chemokine expression and activities in normal and pathological conditions, leukocyte activation and traffic, and natural chemokine antagonists. Recently, her group has been focusing on chemokine activities in human inflammatory diseases, tumours, and infections and has identified a novel regulatory mechanism of leukocyte trafficking induced by synergy-inducing chemokines.
