Bio
Dr. Bonilauri is a highly driven and thoughtful scientist with a deep commitment to uncovering the molecular mechanisms that govern human biology and disease. After completing his postdoctoral training at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute under the mentorship of Dr. Joseph C. Wu, he now serves as an Instructor, continuing his work on advanced in vitro disease modeling systems to explore fundamental questions in molecular and cellular biology.
His research integrates a broad array of disciplines, including multi-omics, tissue engineering, structural biology, and advanced imaging — providing a systems-level perspective on complex biological processes. This interdisciplinary expertise, combined with his analytical rigor, enables Dr. Bonilauri to investigate rare and understudied conditions such as Transthyretin Amyloidosis, where innovative research is urgently needed. He is also broadly interested in protein diversity, and actively investigates the existence and functional roles of microproteins encoded by small open reading frames (sORFs). His contributions have significant potential to inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies across a wide range of human diseases.
