About me
- After the medical doctor degree, I started my professional career with a
medical training in Internal Medicine followed by a PhD in clinical
physiology focused on lipid metabolism in diabetes and atherosclerosis. Then,
driven by the idea to understand more about the molecular mechanism behind
metabolic disorders I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at KI, studying the
interaction between immune and metabolic cells in insulin resistance and
fatty liver.
Now I am a staff physician in the Endocrinology Department of Karolinska
University Hospital and researcher at the Karolinska Institutet. From
January 2020, I hold a Clinical Scientist position supported by region
Stockholm. From 2021 I am team leader in the Cardio Metabolic Unit of the
Endocrinology Division.

*Ph.D.* in Clinical Physiology Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa,

Canada (2011-2014)
*Clinical Fellow*, Internal Medicine, University of Pisa, Italy (2006-2010)
*MD* School of Medicine, University of Pisa, Italy (1999-2005)
Research
- My main research interest is to understand the role of immune cell activation
in the pathogenesis of diabetes complications and cardio-metabolic
disorders. By combining analysis on human immune cell epigenome and
transcriptome with clinical and diagnostic information, I aim to identify
pattern that can help to determine human individual risk of developing
cardio-metabolic complications, detect illness earlier and, find the most
effective intervention to improve patient health.
