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.

Favorite quote Your self respect has to be stronger than your feelings.

Role Graduate researcher

Education Medicine and Biomedical Neuroscience Master’s at TU Munich

Research interests Translating
discoveries into clinical practice—especially in Neurology. I’m on a quest to understand how the brain and body tick.

Favorite activity Dancing! Whether it's ballroom or in my kitchen waiting for something to bake, it’s my happy place.

Fun fact I was one of the dancers who helped open the UEFA Euro Soccer
Championship 2024. It was pretty epic!

Role: Rotating Graduate Student

Hobbies: weightlifting, painting, ‘dog-dad’ing (golden retriever)

Currently watching: Game of Thrones (again)

Favorite quote: “I’m not 25 anymore, standing in front of a boulder like, ‘This has to move.’ You give what you can, but there’s beauty everywhere in every moment. You don’t have to build it. You don’t have to search for it.” - Donald Glover

Education: BSc in Biochemistry at University of Massachusetts Amherst

Role: Rotation Student

Research interests: I am interested in investigating the genetic mechanism underlying disease, particularly neurological diseases, and applying that knowledge to develop therapeutic approaches
