Born in Lecce in 1989, she attained her M.D. from Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Rome in 2014 with the thesis ‘Integrated proteomic platforms for the comparative characterization of medulloblastoma and pilocytic astrocytoma pediatric brain tumors’ in collaboration with the Institute of Chemistry of Molecular Recognition of National Research Council (CNR) of Rome.
She completed her speciality training program in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine of the University of Pisa in November 2020. She attended Clinical and Research Fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology, Hammersmith Hospital and Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital, NHS, Imperial College London.
