Born in 1967. Graduated in Chemistry with honors (*summa cum laude*) in 1993 and obtained a PhD in Physical Chemistry in 2000. I worked at the CNR on nuclear magnetic resonance applied to biological systems and, since 2003, at the INAIL Research Center (formerly ISPESL) in Monteporzio Catone, where I develop HPLC/MS/MS analysis methods for the biological monitoring of human exposure to xenobiotics.
