Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Genetics and Development
Angelo Taglialatela is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University, where he also holds an appointment at the Irving Medical Center. His research focuses on DNA repair mechanisms, replication stress, and genome stability, with particular emphasis on homology-directed repair, stalled fork protection, and the roles of BRCA1, BARD1, and SMARCAL1 in tumor suppression and immune evasion. He has made significant contributions to CRISPR-based functional screens, including base editing approaches to interrogate DNA damage response variants, and has investigated extrachromosomal telomere DNA generation in ALT cancers. His recent work has explored how replication stress impairs chromosome segregation in human embryos and how SMARCAL1 regulates innate immune signaling and PD-L1 expression. His findings have been published in Cell, Nature Communications, Molecular Cell, and Nucleic Acids Research, among other leading journals.
