I have a degree in Functional Genomics at the University of Trieste and hold a licence to practise as a Biologist. In my MCs laboratory experience, I've studied Polymeric Nanoparticles and their use as drug delivery systems. Currently, I'm working as a research fellow at Institute of Genetics and Biophysics (CNR, Naples) under the supervision of Dr. Valeria Tarallo, as part of PRIN: “New pharmacological targets to cure disabling retinal diseases”, with the goal of determining how P2X7R affects Alu-RNA/inflammasome signaling in both in vitro and in vivo models of AMD.
