Biography
I am a Molecular Biologist and a PhD student in Science and Technology for Advanced
Therapies (STAT) at the IUSS School of Advanced Studies in Pavia. I am currently carrying out my research at the Molecular and Biotechnology Center. In the Prof. Alessandro Bertero’s Lab. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Turin through an international training program between Italy and Spain. During my academic training, I gained experience in international research environments and interdisciplinary collaborations. Alongside my research activity, I have developed strong communication and organizational skills through teaching support and technical roles in both academic and non-academic settings.
My current research focuses on gene editing and chromatin remodelling, with the aim of
understanding how transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation contribute to nuclear organization. In particular, my work is inspired by the TRANS-3 paradigm, which investigates how transcription and splicing processes shape chromatin architecture through the formation of Trans-Interacting Domains (TIDs) and mRNA factories. I study the interplay between mRNA biogenesis, chromatin folding, and genome function by integrating molecular biology approaches with large-scale epigenomic and interactome data. My scientific background in cancer biology provides a translational perspective, allowing me to explore how alterations in chromatin organization and gene regulation may contribute to disease states, including cancer.
