Brief Description of Research Interest :

I received my Ph.D. in 2009 at the University of Torino,Italy, studying aberrant signal transduction in breast cancer with Prof. PaolaDefilippi.  Then I moved to San Francisco for my postdoctoral research at the University of California San Francisco in Prof. Valerie Weaver’s laboratory studying chromatin remodeling and extracellular matrix-cell interaction during mammary gland development and breast cancer progression. During my eleven years of academic research experience I contributed to the preparation and editing of several original articles. In 2013 I made the definitive jump into the scientific writing, and  now I am a freelance scientific editor—performing copyediting and substantive editing services—a blogger for Scienceblog, and atranslator for ScienceDocs. My areas of expertise are cell and molecular biology, cancer biology, biotechnology, genetics, and biomedical research.
