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 fragments in CSF and brain extracts. The developed assays were used in several clinical studies, where I also assessed the relationship between tau fragments and findings at tau PET. Since 2020, I work both clinically as a Psychiatry resident 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.
