Profile Summary

I am a bioinformatician with a PhD in Systems Medicine from the University of Milan and over 8 years of interdisciplinary research experience in genomics, transcriptomics, cancer biology, and systems biology. My work bridges data science and life sciences, with a focus on analyzing complex biological datasets to uncover mechanistic insights into genome evolution, cancer progression, and cellular adaptation mechanisms. Throughout my academic career, I have led and contributed to multiple high-level research projects across Europe and the U.S. My doctoral research at the European Institute of Oncology focused on aneuploidy in cancer genomes—exploring how tumors compensate for large-scale gene dosage imbalances through regulation of protein complex stoichiometry. This work led to multiple peer-reviewed publications and contributed to the understanding of vulnerabilities in aneuploid tumors that may inform targeted therapies. During my master’s research at the Middle East Technical University, I developed integrative network models for drug response in glioblastoma stem cells, incorporating RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data to understand resistance mechanisms. I also collaborated on projects involving single-cell RNA-seq data analysis, particularly for neuroepigenetics and Huntington’s disease models. In my postdoctoral work, supported by the La Fondazione IEO-MONZINO Career Development Fellowship, I studied tissue-specific chromosomal rearrangements and their selective impact on cancer genomes. I have gained more experience analyzing and interpreting multi-omics datasets, including gene expression, copy number alterations, proteomics, and codon usage patterns across mammalian genomes. My technical skill set includes: - Languages & Tools: R, Python, Bash, Git - Analyses: Differential gene expression, functional enrichment, clustering, dimensionality reduction (PCA, t-SNE), network analysis, integrative omics - Reporting: Markdown, RMarkdown, PDF or HTML reports, and data visualizations tailored for publication or communication In addition to my technical research, I’ve written science communication articles on topics such as astrobiology, origin of life, and genome evolution, published in popular science magazines. I completed the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science's Young Scientist Program and have given outreach talks on ancestral sequence reconstruction and evolutionary biology. With a deep understanding of both biological questions and computational methods, I offer freelance services in: - Genomic and transcriptomic data analysis - Scientific data visualization - Multi-omics integration - Popular science and academic writing
