About Dr. Luigi Perelli
Luigi Perelli is Assistant Professor of the Department of Cancer Biology and a CPRIT Scholar in cancer research. Dr. Perelli’s research program focuses on answering key unsolved questions of cancer biology, including malignant transformation of ‘normal’ cells and the interplay between genotype-phenotype in shaping cancer evolution. To date, his discoveries have been published in top-tier scientific journals like Nature, Nature Cancer, Cancer Cell. The goal of his research group is to intercept and eliminate cancer with preventive strategies. Current projects in the lab including malignant transformation in sporadic and syndromic kidney cancer, and evolutionary mechanisms in glioblastoma.
Dr. Perelli is a certified Italian Medical Doctor with a PhD in oncological sciences. His expertise bridge clinical practice with foundational knowledge of genetics and genomics. His team leverages cutting edge technologies to answer biological questions, including new tools for generating animal models of cancer, genome-tagging technologies coupled with multi-omic technologies. Dr. Perelli is a CPRIT First-Time Tenure-Track Awardee and his work is currently supported by the CPRIT, the NIH, and the Department of Defense.
