I am a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Experimental Medicine & Rheumatology in the Immuno-Rheumatology group led by Prof Michele Bombardieri. I graduated from University of Milan (Italy) with an MSc in Industrial Biotechnology. In 2009, I joined the group of Prof Pitzalis and Prof Bombardieri in London for my PhD which I completed in 2013 with a thesis entitled: “Characterization of peripheral and lesional single B cell autoreactivity in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis”. In 2014, I was awarded an Arthritis Research UK Foundation Fellowship which I completed in 2018. In November 2019, I was awarded with a competitive Career Development Fellowship from Versus Arthritis, which is funding my research. In 2022, I was awarded as PI a Large Project Grant from the Barts Charity on the generation of human antibodies specific to Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS) diseased tissue specific neoepitops for development of novel diagnostic and targeted immunotherapies.
