I am an Electronic Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electronics and Computer Science. I have been working as a researcher at CNR-ITB since 2008. My main research interests include Bioinformatics, Data Science, and Machine Learning.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the identification of germline variants associated with diseases, other binary phenotypes and quantitative traits.

Transcriptomic profiling for coding and non-coding RNAs biomarker discovery and regulatory pathway analysis

Development of high-throughput CRISPR screening platforms, integrating machine learning-guided library design with large-scale genetic perturbation experiments in different biological contexts

Characterization of the functional landscape of single nucleotide variants (SNV) in disease models by using large-scale CRISPR screens and quantifying variant effects via phenotypic and transcriptional readouts

Identification of post-translational and gene-read mechanisms in disease and therapeutic applications.

Development of bioinformatics tools for Big Data analysis.
