GermanoGiovanni University of MilanoItaly

I completed my Ph.D., in 2011, in Basic and Applied Immunology (Università Vita e Salute S. Raffaele) under the supervision of Dr. Alberto Mantovani at the Humanitas Clinical Institute in Milan. I investigated the anti-inflammatory role of trabectedin, a natural compound registered in Italy for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian cancer. Following my Ph.D., I moved to Zurich where I studied the role of fibroblast activation proteins in cancer. During the past five years, I have been a postdoctoral fellow under Dr. Alberto Bardelli, who graciously allowed me to directly mentor two talented students and one technician. Since 2019, I have held the position of Assistant Professor of Histology at the University of Turin.
