About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Baranello lab with a focus on topoisomerases and DNA topology. My current project is exploring the interplay between the TOPOisome and the RNA polymerase II-Topoisomerase I complex in cancer cells, with the goal of developing new potential cancer therapeutics.
