He then moved to the MRC-Laboratory of Molecular Biology, obtaining a PhD degree at the University of Cambridge (UK) in 2000. His PhD research focused on the role of RNA and protein interactions in regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, culminating in the determination of the largest NMR structure and one of only 3 RNA -protein complexes available at the time. He also contributed to show the role of RNA structure in dementia, proving the viability of RNA as a therapeutic target.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter a brief spell in Florence, he moved to Stanford University (USA) as a postdoctoral fellow, being awarded an \u201cEMBO Fellow\u201d in 2003. At Stanford he completed the first NMR study on TCR-pMHC complexes, proposing a novel approach to the systematic characterization of protein-protein interactions.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img alt=\"Luca Varani\" src=\"\/images\/news-luca-varani.jpg\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 225px\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>on October 1, 2007 Luca Varani graduated in chemistry at the University of Milan (Italy) with a thesis in structural biology.
