I was born and raised in Latina, a small city near Rome, Italy.  I have developed a strong passion for science and biomedical research since I was attending high school. After finishing my bachelor’s degree in Biological science in Viterbo, I moved to Trieste where I studied my Master’s course in Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. Luckily, during my formative period, I had the chance to develop my master’s thesis at the Medical University of Vienna where I confirmed my strong interest in the field I studied. Currently, I’m working as a Research Assistant in the research group of Neda Barghi where I’m involved in evolutionary biology experiments. Confident about my attitude to learn in every situation I welcome what life offers me.
