Research

I am part of the ERC project "Developing tools for the PREDICTion, at the individual level, of the CArdiometabolic REsponse to the consumption of dietary (poly)phenols" (PREDICT-CARE). 

Applying genomic approaches, I support the implementation of integrative tools for the prediction of the cardiometabolic response to the consumption of dietary (poly)phenols, considering both the human metabolism and the health effects.

I am investigating the genetic causes of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) in the largest Italian cohort of ANCA-associated vasculitides. 

The project marked my starting in science, and it is carried out together with Dr. Davide Martorana from the University Hospital of Parma and Prof. Augusto Vaglio from the Meyer Hospital and the University of Florence

The BioVRPi started in January 2021 at the GM Lab, University of Verona. Born by chance while having fun with Raspberry Pi devices, it focuses on employing Pi platforms in bioinformatics, particularly interested in genomics and transcriptomics data.

The project focuses on investigating the associations of serum electrolytes in the kidneys, investigating the INCIPE cohort and cooperating with the CKDGen consortium. 

The research is carried out in collaboration with Prof. Giovanni Gambaro and Prof. Pietro Manuel Ferraro from the University Hospital of Verona.

I worked with the Forensic Medicine research group headed by Prof. Turrina at the University of Verona to provide bioinformatic support on short tandem repeats (STR) analysis.
