After obtaining a PhD from the University of Milan in January 2026, I am currently a research fellow at the Institute for Biomedical Technologies (ITB-CNR, Segrate). Thanks to my advanced skills in evolutionary biology, R, Python and bioinformatics applied to omics data analysis, my research integrates pharmacogenomics, population genetics and translational medicine. Since 2021, I have contributed to the AIRC MFAG 2019 project (PI: Dr. Francesca Colombo), focusing on the pharmacogenomics of opioid response for the treatment of cancer pain in advanced cancer patients. I also work in the field of genetic epidemiology of infectious diseases, with studies on COVID-19 mortality and genetics of Long COVID. Since 2024, I have been a visiting researcher in Dr. Hanna M. Ollila’s group at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM, University of Helsinki), where I conduct genetic analyses of complex traits related to dysautonomia and sleep disorders, using large international biobanks.
Research Activities
Exploring the inverse relationship between diseases and comorbidities by means of genetic and clinical data analysis.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in large patient series and cohorts, also using biobank data.
