Research interests

During my undergraduate degree in Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Trento, Italy, I first came in contact with the fascinating topic of regenerative medicine. In order to pursue this scientific interest I continued my education in The Netherlands, where I earned a Masters Degree in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands. During that time I worked on different research projects at the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. In October 2015 I joined the Division of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery as a PhD student working on cartilage and bone repair in arthritis. My research project focuses on resident cartilage cells and progenitors, and their role in cartilage regeneration in the context of surgical techniques to heal cartilage damage
