I am at the end of my PhD (at least I hope ;-) ), focusing on melanoma in my research. As I have some food intolerances, I started to be very interested by dietetics and nutrition - and I am starting with a bachelor program in this field in September 2025.
Otherwise, I am a lot into dancing and sporting (climbing, hiking, snowboarding, running, yoga,...), I usually need a lot of physical activity, both indoors and outdoors. I am a scout and I love being in the nature. During my studies (and thanks to Erasmus), I've been living in Bergen (Norway), Rome, and Pisa (both in Italy).
I hold a BSc in Biochemistry and an MSc in Medical Biochemistry, followed by a PhD in Medical Biology and Genetics. My research focuses on tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Istinye University.
