I am a researcher in the Bioinformatics group of CRS4. I obtained my Laurea (MSc) degree in Biology in 1999 from the University La Sapienza in Rome, Italy and then I moved in France where he received in 2002 a PhD degree in molecular phylogeny from the University of Tours, France. In 2004 I obtained a Master in Bioinformatics at the University of Geneva/Lausanne, Switzerland. As a postdoctoral scientist, I worked at the University La Sapienza in Rome, Italy (2004-2005) on the analysis of genome-wide expression data before joining in 2006 the Istituto di Ricerche di Biologia Molecolare (IRBM, owned by Merck & Co. Inc), Rome where I focused on microarray design, identification of molecular signatures in cancer and development of molecular biomarkers. In 2009 I moved to CRS4. My current research interests include the study of non-coding RNA and epigenomics.
