Bergen, Vestland, Norway

During this 5-month contract, my role was to create a new course about medical data at the University of Bergen. The course aims to target a broad audience, from various backgrounds, not only restricted to life science students. The course is part of the digital understanding, knowledge and competence (DIGI) initiative, which helps students be competitive.

Bergen, Vestland, Norway

In the project, we characterized sex-specific differences in brain at a single cell level using several public datasets, with a focus on human data from the gestational and neonatal period. The ultimate aim was to evaluate whether there is a connection between brain development and biological sex.

Lund, Skåne County, Sweden

During this 15 ECTS research project at the Department of Immunotechnology, I developed a Python-based tool for image analysis and classification of fluorescent images. The tool was developed mainly for spatial omics workflows but can be used in ideally any kind of fluorescent imaging analysis (soon to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal).

Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden

The main purpose of this position was manuscript writing and revision of 2 projects, both about preterm brain injury and involving molecular biology techniques, including single cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis.

The aim of the 4-year project was to understand which immunity cells are involved in the damage development or protection after hypoxic-ischemic injury in a preterm mouse model, with the opportunity to correlate these results with human samples assessments. In order to assess the importance of the single populations, transgenic mouse strains were used. The.

After my Erasmus+ traineeship, I was employed as research assistant in the Perinatal Medicine Group, under the supervision of Professor Hagberg. Based on the data collected during my traineeship, Dr Rocha Ferreira and I investigated further the involvement of T cell subtypes in a mouse model of neonatal encephalopathy following LPS sensitisation. The main.

Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden

I worked as a postgraduate trainee with Dr Rocha Ferreira; under her supervision, we investigated the role of T cells populations in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury following LPS pre-sensitization. Not only I improved my skills in tissue extraction, sectioning and immunohistochemistry, but also learned new techniques as DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis..

Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy

I did an internship of 600 hours in the hospital pharmacy; not only I improved my knowledge in galenics, but also I learnt about total parental nutrition, pharmacovigilance and paediatric use of active ingredients as other important activities of a hospital, as sterilization processes, clinical protocols, quality control and bioethics regulatory affairs..

London, England, United Kingdom

I studied for 7 months at UCL as an Erasmus+ student on my final project on "An assessment of potential neuroprotective/regenerative properties of Exendin-4 following neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury". Between the School of Pharmacy (Pharmacology department) and the Institute for Women's Health (Neonatology department), I gained experience and.

Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy

I worked as a intern for 300 hours in a community pharmacy. During this training I deepened my knowledge of pharmacology, pharmacotherapy and galenics, whilst I also gained experience in communication with the patients, learnt about the health agencies (on local and national scale) and the laws that control the prescription of drugs and over-the-counter.
