Marco Di Antonio is a Group Leader at Imperial College London, specializing in Nucleic Acids Chemical Biology. His research focuses on DNA and RNA G-quadruplex structures, exploring their roles in genome regulation, transcription, and therapeutic targeting. He investigates the detection, functions, and potential of G-quadruplexes in human cells, including their impact on DNA methylation and telomere dysfunction. His work also involves developing chemical tools for selective targeting of G-quadruplexes, such as stabilizers, ligands, and alkylating agents. Di Antonio's studies contribute to understanding synthetic lethality in cancer and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
