Editor-in-Chief of Molecular Cytogenetics, Professor Emanuela Volpi

Prof. Volpi is a Professor in the School of Life Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Westminster in London and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology. She earned a PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’. Before joining Westminster, she held post-doctoral positions at Cancer Research UK, a research tenure at the Italian National Research Council, and was Head of Molecular Cytogenetics at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford. Her research expertise is in molecular cytogenetics and chromosome biology, with specific focus on genome functional organisation, chromosomal fragility and instability, nuclear architecture, and cancer biomarkers. She co-chairs the ‘Chromosomes’ integrity, stability and dynamics’ permanent working group of the European Cytogeneticists Association

Aims and scope

Molecular Cytogenetics encompasses all aspects of chromosome biology and the application of molecular cytogenetic techniques in all areas of biology and medicine, including structural and functional organization of the chromosome and nucleus, genome variation, expression and evolution, chromosome abnormalities and genomic variations in medical genetics and tumor genetics.  The journal is divided into the following sections:

  • Cancer genetics
  • Clinical genetics
  • Animals and plants
  • Mutagenesis
  • Nuclear and chromosome architecture
  • Technology and methods

For more information on the the section aims and scope visit our sections information page.
