Summary
I'm a young Biotechnologist with a strong passion in discovering novel RNA tools for manipulating complex cellular processes. My main expertise is about the creation of novel A-I RNA-editing based platforms for detecting oncogenes, with a special focus on pediatric malignancies. Indeed, By working as Research Assistant II at Boston Children's Hospital at Cantor Lab, I've been developing novel strategies to selectively target fusion transcripts in Acute myeloid leukemia and Ewing Sarcoma. Also, I'm interested in dissecting the metabolic circuits regulating gene expression in cancer initiation and progression. I consider myself a highly motivated person and scientist and I really enjoy sharing ideas, projects and opinions with my friends and colleagues.
