Biologist
2006: State exam to register as a qualified biologist, at University of Ferrara
English: fluent
French: basic.
Excellent knowledge of the Office Suite and of scientific data analysis and calculation (GraphPad Prism, MATLAB). Good proficiency with software for the management and analysis of microscopy images (NIS Elements D, Image J; Software per Life Science Research LAS X Life Science, ZEISS LSM 980 with Airyscan 2).
Main interests: the main interest is aimed at the formation of hybrid organoids that is made up of different cell types such as tumor cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells and components of the extra cellular matrix to understand how they interact with each other and how they modify the surrounding environment.
Maintain these spheroids in microfluidic conditions such as organ on a chip in order to recreate the physiological conditions in which cells live as truthfully as possible.
Another field of considerable interest is understanding how nutrients are able to enter into the tumor mass when it is poorly vascularized and being able to take advantage of this path to introduce drug treatments.
