I am a biologist specializing in the study of biodiversity and the evolution of wildlife, with a particular focus on vertebrates.
Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in genomics, bioinformatics, and geometric morphometrics, participating in both national and international research projects. I have served as a lecturer for the courses in Vertebrate Zoology and Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates at the University of Rome. Since 2017, I have been a Technologist at the National Research Council (CNR) and, since 2021, the Head of the secondary site of the Research Institute on Terrestrial Ecosystems (IRET) in Montelibretti.
Currently, I coordinate the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Evolutionary Genomics at CNR-IRET in Montelibretti, where I conduct research on the genomics and epigenomics of various mammalian species.
