I am a young biomedical engineer, I founded a start-up called IMADROM which provides preclinical and clinical drugs development services, and where my actual position is software division manager. Once I completed my master’s degree at University of Pisa, my strong interest toward technological innovation led me to achieve a PhD Neuroscience. During my academic studies, I had the chance to do an internship for 1 year at Maastricht University, where I developed a groundbreaking biomolecular imaging technique, being able to perform in-depth analysis for cerebral metabolic maps via MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy). In my professional activity, I have been working closely with hospitals and research centers, finding myself dealing with HTA themes (Health Technology Assessment). From this experience, I understood that being able to handle efficiently a high amount of heterogeneous and sensitive data is indeed crucial to support the decision process in this field.

Born in Pisa on December 25, 1989. Graduated with honors in Business Administration with a major in Accounting at the University of Pisa in 2015. Worked in auditing for one of the Big Four firms. Passionate about entrepreneurship, marketing and the digital world, I’ve been trying to make these topics merge together in my continuous learning experience, beginning with a MOOC in Digital Marketing offered by the University of Illinois up to the Master in Big Data Analytics in which I’m currently enrolled.
