Biografia

Since I was a medical student, I have been fascinated by translational and clinical research activities and I devoted myself to give my contribution in these fields, focusing on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. My medical degree thesis project was aimed at optimising existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols for prostate cancer, investigating the relations in between cancer histology and MRI findings. During my Urology Residency at the University of Turin, the growing clinical and surgical responsibilities have been combined with the scientific activity within Prof. P. Gontero’s research group, especially in the fields of MRI-guided prostate biopsies and salvage surgery for prostate cancer. These projects were in collaboration with numerous urologic referral centres in Europe and USA. During the last years, as sub-investigator and site coordinator for two randomised, controlled trials, I matured a deep insight into the clinical research.
Moreover, I have attended in 2022-2023 a fellowship at La Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, focusing on prostate cancer surgery and research, under the supervision of Prof. M. Roupret and Prof. E. Chartier-Kastler. My knowledge of English (First Certificate B2– gr. A) and French (DELF Certificate B2 – gr. A) are good.
These and other research activities have resulted in 35 PubMed-indexed publications, three of which as the first author.
Recent urologic and oncologic guidelines have clearly stated the need to integrate genetic information into the standard clinical management of prostate cancer, with reference to BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutational status and other potential therapeutic targets. Unfortunately, the technologies and the scientific know-how are still non-standardised, expensive and scarcely widespread. Prof. Gontero’s research group and I are now deeply committed on this topic, with several research programmes about germinal and somatic mutation identification, including Raman spectoscopy with Prof. Fabris at Politecnico di Torino, Italy.
