Flaminia Zane

Flaminia joined the EMBL-EBI Training Team in 2025 as a Scientific Training Officer for digital learning, where, together with Dr Ajay Mishra, she is responsible for curating and managing the online training programme.

She holds a joint MSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the University of Padua, Italy, and the University of Paris Cité, France (2018). She then completed a PhD at Sorbonne University, France, in 2022, where she studied transcriptional alterations occurring at the very end of life in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster.

Outside of the lab, Flaminia has organised and delivered science communication workshops for high school students, with a special focus on molecular biology, as part of the “Live My Life as a Researcher” project started by Sorbonne University in 2018. She has also been an active member of the Young Researchers in Life Science group, a Paris-based association aimed at bringing together young researchers (Master’s/PhD students and postdocs) in France and supporting them with networking and career development.
