Rosalia D’Angelo was born in Sant’Agata M.llo (Messina), Italy.
She obtained her degree in “Biological Sciences” (1991), magna cum laude, at the University of Messina, Italy. In 1992-1993 she obtained professional qualification and registration in the National Board of Biologists. Following a four years specialization course, she obtained in 1998 at the University of Messina, the Specialization degree in “Biochemistry and Clinical Chemistry”. Between November 1998 and May 1999 she provided professional work at the Institute of Multidisciplinary Biochemical Sciences and Clinical biochemistry, University of Messina. In 2003 she obtained PhD in “Human Cell Biology” at Department of Biomorphology and Biotechnologies, Division of Biology and Genetics, University of Messina. In this years she extended her experience on studies of genoma and gene expression. Beetween September –November 2004 she stayed in the laboratories of the Department of Oncology, Biology and Genetics of the University of Genoa, Italy, within the framework of a collaboration aimed at the molecular genetic analysis of genes involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral cavernous malformations. In year 2006 she partecipated to a selection for University Researcher at the Medical School of the University of Messina: she won the selection and became University Researcher, in the field of Applicated Biology (BIO/13), with teaching and research activities at the Biomorphology and Biotechnologies Department of the University of Messina. Currently, she teaches Biology and Genetics in the Degree in Medicine and Surgery and in other courses. Actually her main research field is related to molecular and genetics features of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations; identification of candidate genes and causative variants in different forms of Retinitis Pigmentosa and molecular genetic features and genotype-phenotype correlations in Trimethylaminuria.
She is member of Italian Association of Biology and Genetics and author of several papers in international journals with impact factor.
