Biography

I am a specialist in Urology with a Master’s degree in Andrology and Sexual Medicine and a PhD in Surgical Sciences and Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases. I am currently working at the Department of Urology of the Bolzano General Hospital (Head: Prof. Armin Pycha), a Residency Training Programme in Urology (RTPU). My research focuses on uro-oncology, functional urology, and andrology. My main areas of investigation include urothelial carcinoma diagnostics, with specific experience in evaluating molecular and cytological urinary markers such as Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor, Bladder Epicheck®, and Urovysion® FISH test. In recent years, I have also been involved in studies on circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as emerging non-invasive biomarkers for testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), contributing to the growing field of precision diagnostics in urologic oncology. Alongside my research, I am actively engaged in medical education and professional training, having delivered lectures and presentations at national and international meetings. I have authored or co-authored over 70 publications in peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed and Scopus, and regularly present our work at scientific conferences. In my daily clinical practice, I combine patient-centered care with scientific inquiry, focusing on uro-oncology, functional and reconstructive urology, and biomarker research, particularly the role of miRNAs in testicular cancer and molecular diagnostics in bladder carcinoma.
