Ivan Marazzi, PhD
- ASSISTANT PROFESSOR | Microbiology
Research Topics:
Epigenetics, InflammationThe Marazzi lab studies epigenetic- and chromatin- mediated control of gene expression in the context of cellular response to pathogens or cellular differentiation. We are interested in proteins and non-coding RNA that play a role in controlling cell response and cell fate. We use biochemistry and next generation sequencing technique to understand molecular mechanisms and genome-wide effects of known and novel candidate genes.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr. Marazzi did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2017 and/or 2018: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
