What I'm looking for

I seek laboratory-focused roles in molecular diagnostics or biotechnology where I can apply hands-on molecular techniques, grow technical expertise, and contribute to translational research.

I am a molecular biologist and biotechnologist with formal training from Università degli Studi di Camerino, holding a Master in Molecular Diagnostics and Biotechnology and a Bachelor in Biological Sciences: Biotechnology.

During my studies and internships I gained practical laboratory experience across PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, Western Blot, HPLC chromatography, spectrophotometry, NanoDrop DNA quality analysis, agarose gel electrophoresis, MTT assays and various antigen tests.

I contributed to projects including hTERT gene polymorphism genotyping and research on polystyrene micro(nano)plastics' effects on breast cancer development and therapy response, attaining top marks for my thesis work.

I am motivated to continue a laboratory-focused career, expand technical skills, and contribute to molecular diagnostics, genomic epidemiology, or applied biology teams.
