Profile Summary

I am a researcher at Università degli Studi di Bari, where I use my PhD in Genetics and my expertise in molecular biology and population genetics to study gene expression profiling in cancer patients. I have over eight years of experience in conducting and publishing high-quality scientific research on the genetic and ecological aspects of mosquito vectors and infectious diseases. I am also a co-founder and scientific writing consultant at Stylus, a company that provides professional editing and proofreading services for scientific documents. I help authors improve the clarity, coherence, and narrative of their publications, proposals, and career development materials. Additionally, I am a social media editor at Mothers in Science, a global network that supports and promotes women in STEM fields. I am passionate about science communication, outreach, and advocacy, and I use my skills and platforms to engage and inspire diverse audiences.
