Professional background

I trained in clinical haematology at Pavia University Hospital, in Italy, and completed the program in 2014. My training included a period of research in the molecular genetics of diffuse large B cell lymphomas at the Columbia University Institute of Cancer Genetics.

After completing a fellowship in clinical research at EORTC headquarters in Brussels, I joined the Teenage and Young Adult Unit at UCLH as a clinical fellow in 2015.

Between 2017 and 2020 I undertook a PhD project within the CAR-T cell research group at UCL Cancer Institute.

I joined the team as a consultant haematologist for the Children and Young People’s Cancer Service in February 2021.
