Alberto Giaretta has been a full-time researcher in the field of Systems Biology since 2013. He received a high school technical diploma in Electronics and Telecommunications in 2006 from ITI A. Meucci, a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Padova, a Master's degree in Bioengineering from the University of Padova. He received a Ph.D. in Information Engineering, Bioengineering stream, from the University of Padova, Italy (in collaboration with the Elston's lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA) working on modeling the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) gene regulation, modeling the interaction of Aspirin with COX-1 enzyme under both healthy and pathological conditions. During his post-docs at the Department of Information Enginnering at the University of Padova, Italy, he focused on modeling HPV gene networks, PBPK/PD modeling of cardio-aspirin, systems pharmacology of Doxorubicin in multiple myeloma cells, developing novel frameworks to model gene networks, mouse papillomavirus biology and developing mathematical methods for parameter estimation of hybrid stochastic systems. In 2021 he won a Marie Skłodowska-Curie individual fellowship from the European Commission within the call H2020-MSCA-IF-EF-2020-ST.

His main research topics are: systems virology of Human Papillomavirus, systems biology and biophysics of epithelial tissue, systems biology of single cell gene networks and signalling patwhays, systems pharmacology of cardio-aspirin and doxorubicin, mathematical frameworks for modeling gene networks, estimation methods for hybrid stochastic systems, biology of Human and mouse papillomavirus, methods for stochastic systems biology.

Alberto is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge in Doorbar's lab at the Department of Pathology and in collaboration with Simons' lab at the Gurdon Institute.

Alberto was awarded a grant of nearly 160'000 € by successfully submitting as "Experienced Researcher" the project proposal "STEPV" (Spatio-Temporal stochastic modEls for phenotype and gene regulation by the human PapillomaVirus), that was selected for funding by the European Commission within the call H2020-MSCA-IF-EF-2020-ST of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Score: 98/100; Project N. 101033459).

So far, Alberto was able to individually generate over 206'000 € (~160'000 € of which from the EU by winning the STEPV Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project, over 44'000 € by winning a Senior Individual fellowship with the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Padova, Italy and over 2'500 € by winning an EMBO short-term fellowship).

Alberto is also pioneer in the field of systems virology of HPV and its connection with the biophysics of tissues. He has developed the first mathematical models of HPV gene regulatory networks and HPV tissue modified homeostasis.
