Dr. Carlo Zanon, manager of the IRP Bioinformatics Core Service. CZ studied Biological Sciences at the University of Padova acquiring expertises in personal identification techniques based on DNA analysis during a pre-master at the University of Leicester (UK). After graduation he served as deputy manager of the Forensic Biology Lab of the Carabinieri Corps in Rome. He then moved to the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam (NKI, The Netherlands) and then to the Leiden University Medical Center studying cancer genetics. He subsequently joined the Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment in Candiolo (Torino, Italy) setting up and managing the DNA sequencing facility. Supported by a Marie Curie Scholarship he worked as a bioinformatician in the Cancer and the Bioinformatics Divisions at the DeCode Genetics company in Reykjavik (Iceland). Back to the Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment in Candiolo he supervised data analyses on several research projects. He eventually moved to the Institute of Pediatric Research in Padova joining at first the Neuroblastoma Lab and then setting up and managing the Bioinformatics Core Service of the institute.
