I have been working in the research group of Gerobiomics & Exposomics Unit of Biosciences Laboratory at IRST, where I have a full-time research contract. I am very motivated to pursue a career in translational research, in particular in breast cancer. In this field, I have the co-authorship of many publications and abstracts presented in many international conferences. I am the first author of several peer-reviewed publications.
I won a travel grant award to attend MAP conference, taken place in Zurich, in October ’17, presenting a poster entitled “Is androgen receptor a predictive biomarker of response to anti-estrogen therapy in advanced breast cancer?”
