Biography
Since young age I have been driven by a deep curiosity in human health and a strong desire to make a difference in people’s life that led me to pursue a career in Medicine. During my last year of medical training, the clinical experience at the hematopoietic transplant unit at Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù allowed me to realize firsthand that the limitations in current treatments and gaps in scientific knowledge are overcome only through research. I have therefore started a research fellowship in clinical immunology at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London focusing on a gene therapy trial and complete a board certification in Medical Genetics in Italy afterwards. My latest study focused on solid tumours in a large monocentric cohort of RASopathy individuals was selected for oral presentation in two different conferences (RASopathy meeting in Berlin and SIGU 2024), where I had the honor of presenting our findings and received an award in recognition of our work (Premio Mia Neri)
