Biography

Dr. Bistulfi is one of our full-time Biology Professors. Beyond science, she has a passion for the outdoors, photography, art, food, cooking, and traveling.

Research Intrest

Dr. Bistulfi has an interest in molecular genetics, epigenetics, nutrition, and developmental biology. She is currently investigating how the presence of different hormones at the cellular level affects the interaction among their receptors and the transcriptional programs they control.
