Profile

I grew up in a small town in the North of Italy and I moved to the UK just two years ago to pursue a Master degree in cancer research. After one year in London, I moved to Manchester where I am doing a PhD. I am really passionate about science but I like doing other things too when I finish my work in the lab. I love sports; I play tennis, love going for runs in the park and for hikes in the weekend. I am also a leader in a scout group near where I live! As you can tell, I just love spending time with people, adult and children in the nature.

Lung cancer is a tumour type that affects a lot of people and most of them unfortunately do not respond to the available treatments because they seem not to be effective. What I am investigating with my research is the reason behind this. If we can understand why some patients do not respond to the treatments we can look for an alternative to give them hope!
