“I am a graduate student in EPFL PhD Program in Neuroscience (EDNE). Before starting my PhD in Graff lab, I was hired for one year as research technician in Noseda lab, based in Imperial College London in London. My job mainly concerned the processing human heart samples for scRNAseq and spatial transcriptomics. Prior to that I completed my Master’s degree in Neuroscience at the University of Trieste (Italy) and my Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology at the University of Turin (Italy). As part of my master thesis, I joined Simone di Giovanni’s lab in Imperial College London. During this time, I worked with Ilaria Palmisano investigating the role of Cohesin in spinal cord regeneration. There I developed my passion for neuro-epigenetics and thanks also to my experience in Noseda lab I decided to apply for a PhD position involving single cell epigenetic techniques and neurodegeneration. In Graff lab I plan to investigate how epigenetic signatures change over time and under different experimental conditions in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease and in human patients.”
