My name is Azzurra Margiotta and I live in Norway. I obtained my bachelor degree in Biotechnology in 2009 and a Master degree in Human Biology in 2011 at University of Salento (marks: 110 cum laude) where I received the award for best biomedical thesis. I completed the PhD program in Genetics and cell biology in 2016 at University of Tuscia (mark: Excellent). Moreover, I obtained also the “Doctor Europaeus” PhD title. I attended international courses and conferences, I was in the committee for a national conference and I won two more awards for my research activity before moving again to Norway and starting my job as researcher in intracellular trafficking at University of Oslo. Afterwards I had a post-doctoral position at University of Masaryk/FNUSA in Czech Republic in cell signaling. I am currently a post doc in Norway and I have recently won the Meltzer award. My field of research is related to cell biology, bone regeneration, cell migration, signaling and intracellular trafficking. I have presented my work at several scientific meetings and I have been member of several scientific associations, master defense committees, reviewer for scientific journals and supervised students in their activity.
