I graduated in Biological Sciences at University of Milan in 2004 and obtained the qualification to practice as a biologist.

 

Research activity

After two short work experiences at IRCCS Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico di Milano and Centro Enrica Grossi Paoletti, Department of Pharmacological Sciences of the University of Milan, since 2007 I have been working as a researcher at IRCCS - National Neurological Institute “C. Besta ”in the Clinical and Experimental Epileptology Unit. My research activity is focused on the study of neuropathology and etiopathogenetic mechanisms of Cortical Developmental Malformations with particular attention to temporal lobe epilepsy and focal cortical dysplasia.

I have experience in treating surgical samples from patients undergoing surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. I conduct my research mainly using immunohistochemical techniques, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, Golgi impregnation, optical and confocal microscopy, organotypic culture preparation.

I am responsible for several publications and I have participated in several research projects.

 

Topics of interest

• Epilepsy surgery
