Role Postdoctoral fellow

Education PhD Biomedical Science, Florida State University

Research interests I have created mutant cell and mouse models by CRISPR-mediated homology-directed repair to investigate functional short sequence motifs in circadian clock genes. My goal is to broaden my expertise in genome editing therapeutics, aiming to cure and treat genetic disorders in cell and animal models of human diseases.

Hobbies I am a passionate sports fan. Currently, I enjoy playing tennis and golf. Additionally, I enjoy spending time at the gym and swimming to stay active and fit.

Fun fact In 2022, I made a hole-in-one, we believed that it brings good fortune for three years! It is still valid!!

Role Postdoctoral fellow

Education PhD Translational and Molecular Medicine, Milan

Research interests Genome editing is my passion. I transitioned to cancer immunology, exploring the role of B cells in cancer and became an expert in genetically modifying these cells for innovative cell therapies. My interests further include the tumor microenvironment mechanisms of aging.

Hobbies Good food, organizing social gathering, perfume making.
