Andrea Cosentino, M.D.
Research fellow

As a Hematology/Oncology specialist, Andrea has a deep interest in both science and clinical work. He believes that these areas can influence each other and that it is possible to pursue them in succession.
During medical school, Andrea was convinced that being a clinician could have a significant impact on biomedical research and the questions he wanted to study. In the spring of 2020, he volunteered as a doctor in the COVID-19 unit at the Hospital of Bergamo, one of the major COVID-19 hotspots at the start of the pandemic. This experience led to the opportunity to complete his residency in Bergamo under the guidance of Professor Rambaldi, where he spent over a year working in the fields of bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy, which are his primary interests in Hematology. In addition to being passionate about teaching, Andrea has a strong desire to use his skills and knowledge to make a positive difference in the world. 

With this in mind, he is now committed to focusing on the next phase of his career by undergoing translational science. He joined the Genovese Lab with the goal of using new genome editing technologies to develop therapeutic strategies for curing Hematological diseases.

​Dr. Cosentino has been awarded the 2022 Fellowship from the American Italian Cancer Foundation
