I received my degree in Medicine in 2010, from “Sapienza” University in Rome, Italy. During my medical degree, I became interested in the human immune system's interactions with different pathogens. I then started my specialization course in clinical immunology to merge my interest in clinical research with an evidence-based approach to infectious diseases. During my specialization course, I focused on human immunodeficiencies and autoimmune disorders. In 2016, I pursued my research activity in this field as visiting fellow at the Rheumatology Research Group, Institute of Infection, Inflammation and Ageing, University of Birmingham, UK. I achieved my board certification and specialization in clinical immunology in 2016, and in 2017 I moved to the Italian National Institute for Infectious Diseases “L. Spallanzani”, as a physician and infectious diseases consultant. In my Institute, I followed the design and conduct of prospective observational and interventional studies on antimicrobial resistance and Clostridioides difficile infection. I oversaw the scientific coordination of research projects on Clostridioides difficile infection and its interaction with the host and human microbiota.
