Hi,

I am a Bioinformatician and Medical Informatician specializing in infectious diseases, working across the full spectrum of research data—from pathogen sequencing and gut microbiome analysis to patient-level data collection, advanced analytics, visualization, and evidence synthesis through systematic reviews and meta-analyses. My work is highly transversal, involving close collaboration between clinical experts, statisticians, and data experts. Currently I work as a PostDoc in the Infectious Diseases department headed by prof. Evelina Tacconelli in the University of Verona.

I believe that effective communication in interdisciplinary teams requires a conscious democratic process, and I'm passionate about teaching and scientific data visualization to facilitate this process. I'm currently involved in several interdisciplinary tasks within the EU-funded Orchestra, COMECT and Verdi projects.

My past and current work spans a diverse range of approaches including mata-analysis, clinical metagenomics, clinical data analysis and management, and molecular dynamics. Additionally, I'm involved in related scientific visualisation, and teaching.

I lead and contribute to working groups focused on infectious diseases and post-infective syndromes. Since 2021, I have chaired the ORCHESTRA WP2 Working Group on Post-COVID Condition, coordinating large-scale data analyses across European cohorts. In 2024, I joined the Post-Acute Infection Syndrome (PAIS) Working Group of the Cohort Coordination Board (CCB), where I led efforts to standardize core variables for studying post-COVID conditions. Most recently, in 2025, I became Co-Chair of the CCB Artificial Intelligence Working Group, spearheading research into the application of AI to enhance observational cohort studies in infectious diseases.
