2001 Graduated in Biology, University of Ferrara.
2002-2004 Doctoral school in “Neurobiological and Electrophysiological Sciences”, Department of Biomedical Sciences and Advanced Therapies, Human Physiology Institute, University of Ferrara. The topic of the research was to study cortical and subcortical motor output reorganization after denervation and reinnervation of peripheral nerve.
2005 Ph.D. in Physiology and Neurobiology. Thesis: “Cortical and subcortical motor output reorganization after facial nerve reinnervation in adult rat”.
2005-2007 Postdoctoral fellow, Department of Anatomy, Pharmacology and Forensic Medicine, University of Turin. In this period the main of research was to study the neuroprotection mediated by D-JNKI1 peptide in model of cerebral ischemia in newborn rat and temporal lobe epilepsy in adult rat.
2007-2008 Postdoctoral fellow, Department of Biomedical Sciences and Advanced Therapies, Human Physiology Institute, University of Ferrara. Project title: “Study of cortical and subcortical somatomotor representation and motor output”.
2008- Researcher at the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Advanced Therapies, Human Physiology Institute, University of Ferrara.
