Research Biologist practiced in cell-based assay development, molecular biology and genetics, as well as hospital laboratory diagnosis.
Internships achieved
- Molecular and Cellular lab in the Prof. Alessandra Montecucco group
- Performing experiments to investigate the DNA Damages signaling in murine neuronal cells, hippocampal and cortical ones, exposed to fatty acids ( palmitic and oleic ) as metabolic stressor, particularly analyzing the gH2AX phosphorylation using Western Blot and Immunofluorescence as the main molecular tools
-The autophagy and apoptosis of the cells were analyzed via Western Blot and quantified using ImageJ Fiji program.
- During the internship others molecular tools were used, such as IF and Confocal Immunofluorescence
- Virology lab in the Prof. Carolina Scagnolari group
- Using different cellular and molecular techniques for gene expression analyzing in different virus groups
- Analyzation and Investigation of Interferon pathway as a innate immunity response also in hospital patients
