Biography:
After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Laboratory Techniques in 2020, I began a research fellowship at the Parasitology Laboratory of Sant’Orsola Hospital in Bologna, continuing the activities initiated during my thesis work.
Since late 2021, I have been working as a laboratory technician in the Bacteriology Laboratory of the same institution.
In 2024, I earned my Master’s degree in Health Biology from the University of Siena and, in the same year, I enrolled in the Postgraduate School of Microbiology and Virology with the objective of strengthening and expanding my expertise in the field of infectious diseases.
My primary areas of interest are parasitology and clinical bacteriology.
