About
Gianluca Pegoraro is Core Director of the High-Throughput Imaging Facility (HiTIF) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)/Center for Cancer Research. He earned his Ph.D. in molecular genetics at SISSA in Trieste, Italy and trained as a postdoctoral fellow at NCI, where he connected loss of the NURD complex to age-related chromatin defects. Since taking over HiTIF in 2014, he has built a team of staff scientists and technological platforms spanning arrayed and pooled high-content imaging, imaging bioinformatics, and spatial bioinformatics. His group develops the methods that make those screens possible: hiFISH for high-throughput DNA FISH, a deep learning pipeline for nucleus segmentation, the open-source HiTIPS platform for image analysis, and native FISH and in situ sequencing-based optical pooled screens that have identified regulators of the alternative lengthening of telomeres pathway.
