At first, I graduated in Biomedical Laboratory Techniques at the Università degli Studi di Milano. During this period, I spent my internship with the research groups of Medical Genetics and Molecular Biology at the Department of Health Sciences, Università degli Studi di Milano, center Ospedale San Paolo. Here they included me in the multidisciplinary approaches study on the Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder.
For my Master's degree, I moved to Trieste and enrolled in the Functional Genomics course. I interned in the Laboratory of Medical Genetics in the Department of Health Sciences, Università degli Studi di Trieste, center IRCCS BURLO GAROFOLO, where I employed high-throughput sequencing technologies to study hereditary hearing loss.
After graduation, I joined the SISSA PhD course in Functional and Structural Genomics. My project aims to understand the functional role of the AHDC1 gene, whose mutations are associated with the Xia-Gibbs syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, still poorly understood.
