What I do
Post Doctoral Research Fellow in a low-dose radiobiology oriented Lab @ Italian Istituto Superiore di Sanita’
For passion, I am also conducting the Podcast for the scientific journal Radiation Research – official journal of the Radiation Research Society and I run the blog column on the Italian Science e-magazine Galileo

Interests
Low dose radiation biology and its impact in both radiation protection and radiation therapy of cancer.
My short-term career goal is to become an independent investigator and establish a small low-dose radiobiology group to work on non-DNA-targeted effects of ionizing radiation.
Cycling. Photography. Technology. Jazz.
Projects
Cosmic Silence, on the biological effects of environmental, low-dose ionizing radiation, funded by Museo Storico della Fisica e Centro Studi e Ricerche Enrico Fermi
My blog Science in the Bel Paese results from my wish to make my country more attractive to foreign scientists, and is aiming at bringing some transparency in the Italian Science scenario. Its content does not reflect the views of the Institutions with which I am affiliated.
Travel more by bike across the country.
Build a Tandem Bike and adapt it to travel with my son as well.
Learn to play the Guitar. Ha!
