Curriculum vitae
I graduated in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology (MSc) at the University of Urbino (Italy), in 2020. I did my Master's Thesis (2018-2019) at the University of Helsinki (Faculty of Pharmacy) in 'High drug loaded microparticles for local injection'.
Since 2021, I am working as a PhD researcher at the Faculty of Pharmacy (University of Helsinki), in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action P4FIT ITN-EU Project. My work is about the development of polymeric and lipid-based nanoparticles for anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and regenerative applications in tendon diseases.
