During my PhD I have conduct studies to evaluate the insulator properties of some regions of transposable elements in Drosophila melanogaster. These properties I have proved were conserved in human cells and were used for the construction of expression vectors to be used in gene therapy that has been patented.</div>

At the McGowan institute of the University of Pittsburgh (USA), I carried out studies on amniotic epithelial cells extracted directly from the placenta in order to assess whether their use in the generation of IPs (induced pluripotent) cells could offer a better performance in cellular reprogramming.</div>

Since I was employed at the Laboratory of "Hematological Sciences" of the University of Bari (Italy) in 2009 I was focused genomics and transcriptomics of hematological malignances with the aim to discover diagnostic and prognostic markers and develop new tests.</div>
