I obtained my Master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology from the University of Siena in 2024, with an experimental thesis in Organic Chemistry titled “Approach to the synthesis of variously substituted piperidines and azepanes”, conducted in Professor Petricci’s research laboratory. In 2025, I completed an eight-month internship at Philochem AG, where I currently work as a Research Associate and conduct my industrial PhD.
My doctoral studies are carried out in collaboration with IUSS Pavia within the PhD program Science and Technology for Advanced Therapies (41st cycle, A.Y. 2025-2026). My PhD project focuses on the discovery of ligands for tumor-associated antigens and the optimization of linker-payload combinations to generate targeted therapeutic conjugates, including ADC (Antibody-Drug Conjugates), SMDC (Small Molecule-Drug Conjugates) e RLT (Radioligand Therapy).
