PhD in Experimental Neuroscience, she is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Experimental Neurology Unit (ENU) laboratory at the University of Milano-Bicocca.

Biography

Born in 1993, in 2016 she achieved the bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences and in 2019 the master’s degree in Biology at the University of Milano-Bicocca. In 2019, she won a fellowship at the Research Unit of San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, performing in vivo electrophysiological, behavioral, histological and tDCS techniques on Multiple Sclerosis mouse models (EAE). In 2024, she got the PhD in Experimental Neuroscience at the University of Milano-Bicocca, performing ex vivo and in vitro electrophysiological techniques and the manipulation of bioengineered nanoparticles. Currently, she is a postdoc in the ENU laboratory at the University of Milano-Bicocca and she works on the IonNerve project financed by the Cariplo foundation. She studies the peripheral neurotoxicity induced by chemotherapeutic drugs, investigating the underlying pathological mechanisms through neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, molecular biology and live-imaging techniques.
