In 2014, I obtained my MD at the University of Perugia, Italy. Here, I worked at the Memory Clinic led by Professor Lucilla Parnetti. My research focus was on diagnostic accuracy of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in memory impairment and dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In 2019, I completed my PhD in Kaj Blennow’s lab at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Here I studied tau protein and its role in the pathogenesis and as a biomarker of AD and tauopathies. During the PhD, I developed immunoassays targeting several different tau species in CSF and brain extracts. The assays were applied successfully to independent clinical cohorts. My work resulted in publications in high impact journals on their role as biomarkers in AD and tauopathies and their relationship with tau-PET data. Since 2020, I work both clinically at the Memory Clinic at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, and as a postdoctoral researcher in Oskar Hansson’s lab at the Clinical Memory Research Unit, Lund University. My focus is on blood biomarkers for AD within the Swedish BioFINDER study. In 2020, I received the Bundy Academy Award for Neurology.
