Curriculum Vitae
Born in 1988, she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology in 2012 and her master degree in Medical Biotechnology in 2015 at the University of Milano-Bicocca. From December 2013 to October 2015 she worked in the laboratory of Neurobiology (Head: Prof. C. Ferrarese). In this period of time, she studied the therapeutic modulation of cerebral collateral flow in an in vivo model of ischemic stroke.
In february 2019 she got the PhD student in Translational and Molecular Medicine (DIMET). At the ENU she works on in vivo research projects regarding Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neurotoxicity.
She is author of 9 scientific papers on International peer-reviewed journals.
