About

I'm graduated in 2008 in Biotechnology at University of Campania. After, I took a post-graduated course in Biotechnology applied to Assisted Reproduction; the internship activity included a training in medically assisted procreation at HERA center (Naples), and in genetic analysis of infertility at University of Campania. In 2012 I Achieved the Master degree cum laude in Biotechnology of Reproduction at Univeristy of Teramo. During the Erasumus Placement program, I learned the main animal production techniques at the Polish Academy of Science (Poland) and National Research Institute of Animal Production (Poland). I Achieved the PhD in Computational Biology in 2015 at University of Campania and I obtained research fellowship in the same University and at National Research Council (ISPAAM, Naples). My scientific research interests include several areas such as genotoxicity, antigenotoxicity, ecotoxicology, cytogenetics, cellular and molecular biology. In particular, my main interests are relate to the in vivo and in vitro evaluation of cellular and DNA damage provoked by environmental pollutants in several experimental models, with particular reference to the role of nanomaterials on male and female reproduction; In addition, the evaluation of the protective anticytotoxic and antigenotoxic action of antioxidant molecules on human spermatozi, human amniocytes and on zebrafish embryonic development; at last, analysis of chromosomal alterations in relation to fertility and / or subfertility in humans. I am working as researcher at Department of Environmental, Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technologies at University of Campania. I am lecturer for theoretical and practical training course on management of male and female Infertile, clinical molecular biology and cytogenetic technique at University of Campania and private institutions. I’m tutor for teaching in Biology and Reproductive Techniques for Master degree in Biology and supervisor of several experimental master's degree theses. My ambition is to become a professor for master degree in biology and lead my own research group.
