Work History

Data Scientist

Centro Cardiologico Monzino
12.2024 - Current

Developing an AI system that delivers multimodal predictions for heart failure patients by integrating heterogeneous data—genetic sequences, CPET biosignals, and clinical reports—using cutting-edge techniques like Large Language Models, LSTMs, and Genomic Language Models in Python. Additionally, I analyze scRNAseq, RNAseq, spatial transcriptomics, and EMseq data for immune-oncology and heart biology projects using both R and Python, deploying solutions with Docker and Singularity on HPC clusters. I have also evaluated and benchmarked topological data analysis methods for single-cell omics, while providing statistical expertise and neural network architecture consultancy for ML, DL, and AI applications in biology.
