    • KtedoGen s.r.l.

      Jan 2013 - Nov 2013
      PhD Candidate - Intern

      A research secondment was carried out for the purpose of bioprospecting actinomycete secondary metabolites for potential anti-virulence candidates against Staphylococcus aureus. During my stay at KtedoGen I gained experience in culturing Actinomycetes, and in Actinomycete extract peparation, fractionation and fraction mass spectrum analysis.

      Oct 2014 - Dec 2014
      PhD Candidate - visiting researcher

      A collaborative research stay was carried out to evaluate the safety and immune-modulatory profile of anti-virulence compounds, that target Staphylococcus aureus, towards cells of the immune system preliminary to in vivo investigations. During this research stay I acquired a wide set of cellular and immunological skills at both a practical and theoretical level.

      PhD Candidate - visiting researcher

      After personal initiation, a collaborative research stay was carried out to investigate the therapeutic potential of anti-virulence compounds in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus-induced skin inflammation within the context of Atopic Dermatitis. During this research stay I gained experience in murine models of infection/colonisation, worked closely with highly skilled clinical dermatologists, and obtained a fundamental understanding of Atopic Dermatitis.
