Research Fellow, MD, PhD
- Translational Radiation Oncology
BIOGRAPHY
Following my training in Clinical Oncology at the University of Pisa, from June 2008 to December 2020, I held the position of consultant at Pisa University Hospital, where, from 02/01/2015 to 26/12/2020, I looked after the neuro-oncology multidisciplinary team. I hold a PhD in Clinical Pharmacology, and, in the latter years, my research has been focused on translational studies carried out in brain cancer patients, a new growing field of study in oncology.
Thanks to a fellowship cofounded by the Marie Curie Actions and the Italian Association on Cancer Research (iCARE-2), since January 2021, I have been working for the Department of Oncology of the University of Oxford (Computational Biology and Integrative Genomics lab, headed by Professor Francesca Buffa). By combining artificial intelligence with liquid biopsy, my research aims to explore new approaches for brain tumor patients.
