Biography

I am an early-career neurologist with a strong interest in autoimmune neurological diseases. I completed clinical training at Agostino Gemelli University Polyclinic Hospital in Rome. During the course of my residency, I have reconciled my interests in neurology and immunology through the study of autoimmune neurology. Working closely with Raffaele Iorio, MD, PhD and professor Amelia Evoli, MD, I have developed a special focus on patients with myasthenia gravis, paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. In Dr. Iorio's lab, I have acquired experience in detection methods for neural autoantibodies and evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a tissue-based assay in suspected cases of autoimmune encephalitis. In the O'Connor Lab, I am enthusiastic about delving into human autoimmunity through a translational approach, as well as gaining new insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying antibody-medicated neurological diseases.
