Salerno, Campania, Italy
Hi! I'm a really passionate, curious and dedicated scientist and I'm in love with everything that requires thinking (brainstorming is better!), planning and searching solutions to overcome the obstacles that the fascinating world of biology and medicine places us in front of! I've been studying biotechnology for pretty much all my academic life, and I've got a bachelor's degree in Biotechnologies for Health and a master's degree in Medical Biotechnologies, graduating with top scores. I've also attended a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and Technologies and, as of now, I'm a PostDoc studying the intriguing world of estrogen receptors and breast cancer. I think I am a very good communicator, encouraging and prone to team working and problem solving. I try to never get discouraged when something unexpected happens and I always push to find the best alternative solutions to reach the expected results. I have a strong background in molecular biology techniques and my knowledges spaces from manipulation of nucleic acids, to proteins and bacteria. I also have a strong background in cell biology, manipulation and modification of gene expression by silencing techniques. I am open to every new experience and hope to hear from you very soon!
PostDoctoral Researcher for the Laboratory of Molecular Medicine and Genomics, University of Salerno (Italy). Main research topics: 1) ERβ role and molecular mechanisms of action as an oncosuppressor in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer 2) Estrogen Receptor roles in hormone-responsive ed endocrine-resistant breast cancers. Focus on lncRNAs role in the regulation of ERα activity and binding to partner proteins.
PhD Student in Biomedical Sciences and Technologies PhD Thesis entitled: "Molecular Characterization of Estrogen Receptor β Functions in Triple Negative Breast Cancer"
