Claudio Bussi

Claudio joined the Host-Pathogen Interactions Lab in 2018 after completing his PhD from the National University of Cordoba (Argentina) with a background in innate immunity, neuroscience and autophagy. During his doctoral training, Claudio obtained support from different international programs, such as EMBO Short-Term Fellowship, Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds and The Company of Biologists, which allowed him to visit Ktistakis’ Lab (Babraham Institute, University of Cambridge) and the Electron Microscopy Core Facility at EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany). From April 2019 to July 2021, Claudio secured a competitive Marie Curie / European Respiratory Society Postdoctoral Fellowship to study the role of mitochondria during M. tuberculosis infection in human macrophages. Claudio's research interests are in the broad area of cell biology with focus on intracellular trafficking and organelle dynamics.
