About Chiara

Chiara Murgia holds a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology obtained in Italy. In the late 1990s, she spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, USA, where she gained experience in mouse genetics and epithelial cell biology. From 1998, she served for more than 15 years as research staff at the Italian National Institute for Food and Nutrition (INRAN, now CREA) in Rome, participating in and leading projects on the molecular mechanisms of micronutrients' activity, particularly the role of zinc and zinc transporters in health and disease using animal and tissue-culture models. She moved to Australia in early 2014 to take up a lecturer position at Swinburne University, coordinating the nutrition program. In July 2015, Murgia joined Monash University in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food as an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow, affiliated with the Be Active Sleep Eat (BASE) Facility.
