Fellow
University of Virginia
Dr. Aline Rangel Pozzo is a LGG fellow, biomedical scientist, and molecular cytogeneticist with extensive experience in cancer biology, human genetics, and molecular diagnostics. Currently based at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Dr. Pozzo completed her Ph.D. in Oncology at the National Cancer Institute in Brazil, focusing on mechanisms of drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia, and has since built a multidisciplinary research portfolio in Canada and the United States. Her postdoctoral fellowship at the CancerCare Manitoba Research Institute emphasized cutting-edge approaches, including 3D imaging, bioinformatics, and advanced genomics. Dr. Pozzo has contributed to over 30 peer-reviewed articles, focusing on genomic instability, telomere biology, and chromosomal alterations in hematological malignancies and solid tumors. In addition to her research, she has developed and taught courses in molecular biology, genetics, and cancer biology, and supervised trainees from diverse backgrounds. Dr. Pozzo is recognized for her collaborative approach, with active partnerships in North America, South America, and Europe, and has received numerous awards for her research, teaching, and scientific outreach. Her expertise bridges clinical laboratory genetics, cytogenetics, and the integration of advanced molecular and computational methods in cancer research.
