I have always carried out my research in the field of molecular genetics, initially focused on the marine environment and invertebrates and subsequently in the field of human genetics with a particular interest in neurodevelopmental disorders (autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). From 1998 to 2000 I was a visiting scientist at the Laboratory of Biochemical Genetics of the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, USA) directed by Nobel Prize winner Marshall Nirenberg where I worked on the neuronal gene vnd/NK-2 using transgenic lines of Drosophila. Subsequently I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory of Molecular Cytogenetics of the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Tumors in Milan carrying out a project on epigenetic markers for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Since 2006 I have been working at theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma where I mainly dealt with the genetics of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, carrying out various research projects on post-mortem brains of autistic subjects. During these last years I have developed a strong research interest in identifying genetic and epigenetic risk factors in parents of children affected by neurodevelopmental disorders.
I graduated in Biological Sciences at the Polytechnic University of the Marche with a score of 110/110 in 1997 and a specialization in Medical Genetics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata with a vote of 60/60 cum laude in 2008.
I obtained the National Scientific Qualification in the II band in the Competition Scientific Sector 06/A1- MEDICAL GENETICS-in July 2017.
