He leads the Laboratory of Genomics at the Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences (DIBINEM) of the same University.
He has been using molecular genetics and genomics technologies to study blood diseases, colorectal cancer and trisomy 21. His research group has identified one of the human chromosome 21 genes and he has conceived and developed several original computational biology tools for the analysis of the human genome.
Recently, Dr. Strippoli has focused on starting a systematic study of Down Syndrome by integrating clinical, biochemical, genetic and bioinformatic data, following the scientific thought of Prof. Jérôme Lejeune in order to identify novel therapeutic targets for the intellectual disability associated with this form of trisomy.
