Biography

I graduated in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies at the University of Perugia (Italy) in 1995. I obtained my PharmD (EU-qualified) in 1996 and PhD (Cum Laude) in Biochemistry from the University of Perugia (Italy) in 2001. I spent two years (2001-2003) as Post-doctoral Fellow at the School of Biosciences (University of Nottingham) and was then appointed as Senior Research Fellow at the School of Human Development (University of Nottingham) for the following four years. In 2007 I joined the Institute of Genetics and spin-out company EvoCell Ltd (University of Nottingham) as Senior Research Fellow. In 2009 I started my academic appointment at the University of Nottingham and I am currently an Associate Professor in Cancer and Stem Cell Biology. I am an executive member of the Nottingham Breast Cancer Research Centre and hold a professional membership with the UK General Pharmaceutical Council.
