#Epigenetics #LongCOVID #Epigenomics
🧬 Your genome contains the complete set of DNA instructions that guide how your body develops and functions.
The epigenome is an additional regulatory layer composed of chemical “tags” that attach to DNA and associated proteins.👇
#Epigenomics #Epigenetics
🧬 How do viral infections change the way our genes behave? Our project explores how viral infections reshape epigenetic regulation of host genes that are crucial for immune and neurological health.
Get to know more about our project👉 epivinf.eu
📰 A new article reports that COVID-19 severity is associated with changes in mitochondrial DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that affects how mitochondrial genes function.

👏 A few days ago, members of our project team from Ospedale Sant Raffaele and @irsicaixa.es traveled to Lecce, Italy, for the International Meeting on NeuroHIV. They presented new results on epigenetics and neurological complications in HIV and Long COVID 🧠🧬 👇
#NeuroHIV #Epigenetics
🙌 Our project was represented at GeSIDA2025!
Marta Ruiz Riol provided an updated overview of HIV-associated neurocognitive decline, emphasizing the emerging role of epigenetics. Christian Brander also presented on “Post-Treatment and Post-Intervention HIV Control.”
