Welcome to the Luca Lab website!
We are interested in understanding the genetic and molecular basis of differences among individuals and among groups in complex phenotypes of biomedical interest.
We combine evolutionary and functional genomics approaches to study intermediate phenotypes (e.g.: transcription factor binding, gene expression, chromatin accessibility) and how they are affected by gene-environment interactions.
We are a diverse group of people with different backgrounds, skills and strengths. We value our diversity. We care about you as human beings. We do not tolerate harassment, belittlement, or discrimination of any kind.
