Biography
I have an extensive academic background in biological sciences combined with a strong practical work experience in basic research, especially in molecular and cellular biology fields.
My main research area has been so far the characterization of the neurodegenerative disease and oncogenomic. I studied molecular mechanism of Parkinson Disease and Neurological Tumor.
I was involved in several projects that have demonstrated the important role of SNCA gene duplicated and tripled, methylation and its expression in mouse and human.
I have studied the molecular mechanisms of tumors and their pathways as well as mechanisms of regulation of miRNA, methylation, gene expression and protein quantification.
Furthermore, I am the first author of a papers published on the scientific journal.
My research experience in different topics gave me a good flexibility of mind, and enabled me to learn and improve many techniques in molecular and cellular biology fields.
