Clinical RESEARCH FELLOW

I am a fully trained Neurologist with a special interest in Alzheimer’s Disease, which led me to do research alongside my clinical training in Rome. I have a strong background in Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers, ranging from Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma analysis to PET and MRI imaging, which I’ve used to predict the susceptibility of the brain to evolve from a healthy state to its pathological counterpart. After passing the European Board Examination in Neurology in Lisbon in 2018, which is a sign of excellence in the assessment of European neurological education I became a Fellow of the European Board of Neurology.

I completed a DPhil in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof. Masud Husain on digital biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease and I am now working as a Clinical Research Fellow in Cognitive Neuroscience. My research focuses on cognitive deficits detected by digital screening and plasma biomarkers in patients with subjective cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.
