After a Bachelor and a Master Degree in Molecular Biology at the University of Pisa, I completed my PhD in Molecular Medicine at Univeristy of Milan and University of Naples Federico II with a thesis on trancription regulation in MYC-depedent tumors. I then moved to Germany for a PostDoc at DKFZ on exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities of Leukemia Stem Cells in AML combining multi-omics and functional approaches. I am currently Team Leader at the DRK-Blutspendedienst in Frankfurt where I am leading a team working on CAR-T cells for AML and CLL patients.
