Biography

PhD Student (IUSS SBB PhD Program)

I completed a two-year Master's program in Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Pavia, Italy, in 2023. Following graduation, I was awarded a one-year research fellowship at the Armenise-Harvard Laboratory of Structural Biology under Prof. Federico Forneris. In 2024, I was accepted for an Erasmus traineeship at the Center for Medical Genetics (CMGG), Ghent University Hospital, Belgium. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology at IUSS, Pavia.
