Overview

Enrico Petretto is affiliated with Duke NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore. Their research spans multiple fields including biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine, with a particular focus on molecular biology, genetics, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, surgery, and cancer research.

Petretto's work is concentrated on several main topics, such as single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, congenital heart defects research, RNA research and splicing, bioinformatics and genomic networks, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, extracellular vesicles in disease, and genetic associations and epidemiology.

Frequent publication venues for Petretto include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Communications, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, and eLife.

Recent papers by Petretto comprise:

  • "Transcriptional signature in microglia associated with Aβ plaque phagocytosis" (2021, Nature Communications)
  • "Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan and lifespan" (2024, Nature)
  • "Mitochondrial peptide BRAWNIN is essential for vertebrate respiratory complex III assembly" (2020, Nature Communications)
  • "Single-cell transcriptomics and surface epitope detection in human brain epileptic lesions identifies pro-inflammatory signaling" (2022, Nature Neuroscience)
  • "Brugada syndrome genetics is associated with phenotype severity" (2020, European Heart Journal)

They frequently collaborate with several co-authors, including Jacques Behmoaras, John F. Ouyang, Nathan Harmston, David M. Virshup, and Babita Madan, reflecting a collaborative research environment.
