I’m an assistant Professor (Rtd-B in BIO/10) at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. I studied Medical Biotechnology at the University of Padova, where I graduated with 110/110 with honors in 2008. I started my PhD studies in Biomedicine in 2009. I focused on the characterization of the connection between metabolic state and cell growth (Montagner et al, 2012, Nature; Enzo et al, 2015, EMBO J.).Since 2013, I have served as a post-doc at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where I joined the teams of Prof.Michele De Luca. My research is focused on single-cell-sequencing approaches to decipher self-renewal traits in epidermal stem cells for regenerative medicine applications (Enzo et al, 2021, Nature Communications). I’m the author of 22 peer-reviewed international publications, reaching an H-index of 15; I participated in five international meetings. In 2019, I was awarded by the ISSCR with a merit-based abstract award and the Zhongmei Chen Yong Travel award for scientific excellence.
