Phd in HUMAN BIOLOGY AND MEDICAL GENETICS

Research: ncRNAs specific methylation determining tumour cells EVs cargo and immune response

Bachelor's Degree: Biology

For my thesis project, titled "The Role of ncRNAs in the Development of Endometrial Cancer", I explored the main regulatory mechanisms of gene expression through which non-coding RNAs contribute to tumorigenesis, with a particular focus on a ceRNA network in endometrial cancer.

Master's Degree: Medical Biotechnology

For my master's thesis project, “m6A-dependent HOTAIR role in EMT and tumorigenesis,” I investigated the effect of m6A modification on the role of lncRNA HOTAIR, which is capable of regulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process at the transcriptional level through the recruitment of the epigenetic modifier EZH2, both during differentiation and tumorigenesis.

Erasmus+ Traineeship
During my internship at CSIC-IIB Institute in Madrid I investigated the role of the gut microbiota and the tumour microenvironment in promoting the proliferative and migratory capabilities of colorectal cancer cells.
