PhD candidate in Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Milan.
I work on motor neuron disorders, focusing on mitochondrial dysfunction in SBMA using iPSC-based models and omics approaches.
My background combines wet-lab experience (cell culture, imaging, molecular biology) with bioinformatics and data analysis (RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, proteomics).
- Training in pharmacology, biotechnology, and bioinformatics
- Research on neurodegeneration: SBMA, Parkinson’s disease, and microglia biology
- Skilled in omics data analysis and workflow development
- Interested in bridging lab biology with computational pipelines
- Programming & Data Analysis: R, Python, Bash
- Pipelines & Reproducibility: Snakemake, Nextflow, Conda
- Omics: RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, proteomics, transcriptomics
- Experimental: Stem cell culture, mitochondrial function assays, imaging
- RNA-seq pipeline: from QC to differential expression
- Integration of transcriptomics and proteomics datasets in neurodegeneration
- Drug Pharmacomicrobiomics web portal (database project, 2018)
