Born in 1986, she obtained her Master’s degree in Biology in 2012 and her PhD in Neuroscience in 2017 from the University of Milano-Bicocca.

From 2018 to 2022, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Pharmacology Unit of the School of Medicine and Surgery (University of Milano-Bicocca), where she gained extensive experience in in vitro research, investigating the intracellular molecular mechanisms of various peptides and their role in neuroinflammation.

Since 2023, she has been affiliated with ENU, initially as a postdoctoral fellow and subsequently as an external collaborator, contributing to in vitro research projects focused on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and glioblastoma.
