Name ANDREA D'ALESSANDRO
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Bachelor's Degree in Agro-Industrial Biotechnology, University "La Sapienza", Rome.
Master's Degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology, University "La Sapienza", Rome.
RELATIONAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCES
Excellent ability to work in a group in a multicultural environment, acquired during the years of university study thanks to projects and group work.
TECHNICAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCES
Thanks to the internship carried out during the master's thesis, I was able to become familiar with the basic techniques of molecular biology (PCR, RT-PCR, electrophoresis on Agarose gel, bacterial transformation), and classical genetics with Drosophila melanogaster. I was also able to learn the use of software for the analysis of microscopy images (ImaJ, Image Lab) and statistical analysis software (Graph pad).
OTHER SKILLS AND COMPETENCES
Good use of Office package programs (Word, Power Point, Excel).
