Degrees:
2019
Doctorate Structural, Cell and Molecular Biology
I used the baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a model system to study the metabolism of cancer cells for my PhD project and to study the cell biology underpinning protein misfolding disease like ALS for my postdoctoral project
2015
Master Structural, Cell and Molecular Biology
I worked for two years as a master student on cancer immunotherapy. My project provided a novel insight on the pivotal role of IGF-IR as a functional modulator of natural killer cells recognition ability, cytokine production and cytotoxicty, paving the road for correction of NK functional impairment and eventually an efficient immunotherapy. During my masters, I published 3 research papers, a book an my work was accepted on several prestigious conferences and was ranked among the top 10% e-posters in EASL and AASLD conferences.
2013
