    Research topics

    After obtaining an MD degree and training as a medical oncologist, I started a PhD program in Genetics at the University of Turin. My research interests were focused on enzymes that can synthesize and metabolize nucleotides, such as ATP and NAD, in the extracellular environment. During the PhD, I trained at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center of Harvard University with Drs. Simon Robson and Terry Strom, where we identified an ATP-degrading pathway as an integral component of the suppressive machinery of regulatory T cells. After going back to Italy at the end of 2005, I obtained my first two grants as an independent investigator and studied nucleotide-nucleoside balance in the tumor microenvironment. In 2010 I started my own research group in the Laboratories of the Human Genetics Foundation in Turin, Italy. This group now comprises 12 researchers. In the past few years we have focused on NAD metabolism as a critical step in the regulation of leukemic cell homing and in the skewing of bystander cells towards a pro-survival phenotype. Furthermore, we participated in a joint effort to identify recurrently mutated genes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and splenic marginal zone lymphoma. Current studies are dedicated to the understanding of the role of these genes and their mutations in the biology of the disease. To do this, there is an urgent need of xenograft models that will allow expansion of genetically-typed primary cells. In order to implement these models in the lab, I spent two years as a visiting professor at Weill Cornell Medical College. Upon returning to Turin in September 2016, I obtained a clinical position in the Transplant Immunology Unit of the local University Hospital to work on immune-mediated transplant rejection.
