Lucia Altucci studied Medicine & Surgery at Federico II University of Naples, Italy. After obtaining a Specialization degree in Medical Oncology and a PhD degree in molecular and cellular Pathology, she worked as Assistant and later as Associate Professor at the Second University of Naples, Italy. She has been Post-Doc scientist both at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) in London, UK and at the ‘Institut de Génétique et de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire’ (IGBMC) in Strasbourg, France. She is currently Professor of General Pathology and Rector’s delegate for Research & Innovation at University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’ in Naples, Italy.
Lucia’s research interests are in: translational medicine (particularly on genome and epigenome deregulation in cancer), stemness, differentiation, cell death processes, and the application of epigenome-based drug discovery approaches in human diseases. As a co-Editor-in-Chief, she is committed to improve the standards of Clinical Epigenetics and to further expand basic and applied epigenetics research at a preclinical and clinical level. Given her medical expertise, she will focus on improving integration of ‘basic’ epigenome knowledge as possible disease-related markers as well as on the potential of chromatin modulation as innovative treatments against human pathologies or as a preventive strategy in predisposed patients.
Specialisms: Epigenetics, Cancer, Programmed cell death, Signal transduction, Innovative therapies

Marianne Rots studied Medical Biology at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After obtaining a PhD degree in Medical Oncology in 2000 at the VU Medical Center Amsterdam, she has been a postdoctoral scientist at the Gene Therapy Center of the University of Alabama in Birmingham, AL, USA. In 2001, she was recruited as an Assistant Professor to co-establish the Department of Therapeutic Gene Modulation, School of Pharmacy at the University of Groningen, NL. Appointed as an Associate Professor in 2007, she joined the Department of Pathology and Medical Biology, University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands where she currently is Full Professor of Molecular Epigenetics.
Marianne served as a vice-chair of the EU H2020 COST Action CM1406 (www.EpiChemBio.eu) which inspired the founding of the International Society of Molecular and Clinical Epigenetics (www.isMOCLEP.org). Her laboratory pioneered epigenetic editing to rewrite epigenetic marks at a given genomic location, allowing to functionally validate epigenetic mutations and to translate these into precision therapeutic targets: “towards the curable epigenome”. As the Editor-in-Chief, she is committed to maintain the high standards of Clinical Epigenetics and to further expand on the impact of this platform. Her aim is to continue to inform the scientific community on the clinical relevance of epigenetic dysregulations through publishing state of the art research manuscripts. Through the commissioning of reviews or letters to the editors, the communication between clinicians and biologists/chemists is encouraged, while exciting hypotheses can be put forward to stimulate scientific innovation. The Springer Nature journal Epigenetics Communications was recently founded by the two editors-in-chief, as a companion journal to provide a platform for sharing more basic research, including non-hypothesis confirming epigenetic data.
