Welcome!
I am a researcher in Biostatistics & Genetic Epidemiology. I design statistical and epidemiological solutions to problems arising in medicine, biology and genetics.
After my MSc degree in Statistics & Economics (University of Padova, 1999), I grew experience in medical statistics and clinical epidemiology at the University of Verona’s Unit of Epidemiology & Medical Statistics, under the guide of Roberto de Marco. I deepened my understanding of statistical genetics at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health under the mentorship of Giovanni Parmigiani, achieving a PhD in Biomedical Statistics (University of Milano) in 2006.
In the same year, I joined the Eurac Research Institute for Biomedicine, where I am now group leader of Biostatistics & Epidemiology. I am a principal investigator of the Cooperative Health Research In South Tyrol (CHRIS) study and co-director of the Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics (CKDGen) consortium. I taught complex diseases’ genetics (San Raffaele University, Milano, 2013-20) and now teach statistical methods for genetic epidemiology (Omics Data Analysis Master, University of Padova).
