About me
I am Assistant Professor in Maja Jagodic's group of the Neuroimmunology Unit.
Research description
I aim to exploit the potential of epigenetics to better understand and treat neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders, with a focus on Multiple Sclerosis disease. By integrating state-of-art methodological and causal approaches in molecular, cellular and experimental neuroscience into a clinical framework, I hope to fully translate novel knowledge into clinical applications, with the prospect to potentially revolutionize translational research and personalized medicine. My expertise relies on robust theoretical and practical knowledge in in-vivo studies of models of neuropathology as well as diverse molecular and cellular skills in epigenetics and neuroscience that I acquired during my career. In a word, my scientific ambition is driven by a rooted passion for epigenetics and ever-growing motivation to unravel its potential in clinical neuroscience.
