I am a Computational Biologist and an instructor of Medicine in the Liu lab. I have completed my PhD program in Oncology from the University of Bologna, working at the CIRC supervised by prof. Maria Abbondanza Pantaleo, prof. Andrea Pession and prof. Guido Biasco. I did my Master degree in Bologna where I worked with prof. Rita Casadio and prof. Elisa Michelini. I gained my Bachelors in Biotechnology at UNIPA in Palermo, Sicily, where I was advised by prof.Anna Maria Almerico.
