I am an Italian researcher born in Carmagnola (TO) in 1994. I obtained my Master's degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Turin in 2019, during which I worked on the design and validation of an anti-MET CAR T cell therapy for solid tumors. Subsequently, in 2023, I completed my PhD in Complex Systems of Life Sciences at the University of Turin, focusing on combinatorial CAR-based therapies for HER2-amplified colorectal cancer. Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral fellow at the Candiolo Cancer Center IRCCS (TO). My aim is to study innovative translational therapies in oncology. My main expertises lies in developing CAR-T and CAR-NK immunotherapies for solid tumors resistant to conventional treatments, addressing unmet clinical needs with cutting-edge solutions.
