  PhD student

  I've developed my own project around endocrine pancreatic molecular signature and REST restrictive signals. I've performed transgenic mice design, physiologic functional assays and cell and molecular biology. I've developed international collaborations and presented results in international congresses. A final tier was reached by communicating to lay audience what are the benefits of scientific research for people.
