I am a physicist, interested to understand biological systems and their underlying physical mechanisms. My specific interest lies in the physical mechanisms which play crucial role in tumour development, cancer progression and metastasis. I did my Phd in 2016 from School of Nanotechnology, Trieste University, followed by on year post-doctoral training from ICTP, Trieste Italy. I am associated with Yale Biomedical Engineering and Yale Systems Biology Institutes from 2017 to date. I have done my MPhil from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan.

Ph.D. Neurobiology from SISSA, Trieste, Italy
Post-Doc at Aix Marseille University, Marseille, France
Post-Doc at University of Copenhagen, Denmark
In 2012, I completed my Master of Science in Biophysics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. Later I joined as a Ph D fellow in Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA), Trieste, Italy and accomplished the degree in 2017. Then I moved to Marseille, France and worked as a Post-Doc at Aix-Marseille University. Currently I am working as a Post-Doc in Neuroscience department at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. My research focuses on spinal cord injury, axonal regeneration and repair pathways and understanding how the movement is orchestrated from the brain to the spinal cord in mammalian system.
I use computational models for the design and the study of (macro) molecular organization (including colloidal self-assembly) and (macro) molecular recognition. Since 2013 I have been coordinating a multidisciplinary research activity for the development of novel binders for medical, pharmaceutical, and biological applications.
By training I am a physical chemist (Laurea in Chimica, 2006, University of Trieste, Italy) and I got my PhD from Warwick University (UK) in 2010 with a thesis in “Computational Techniques for the Study of Molecular Self-Organization”. I then moved back to Italy: I worked in CNR-IOM and SISSA (Trieste), and at the University of Udine. There I met Giacinto Scoles, a physical chemist like me. He introduced me to nanomedicine and personalized medicine: his vision and approach sparked my interest. I had the opportunity to meet colleagues from very diverse backgrounds, and I then spent one year at the University of Nova Gorica (Slovenia) as a Talents3 fellow to learn more details about antibody fragments, especially from a biological perspective, and then back to SISSA (Italy). I finally settled down at the University of Trieste where I am now Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry.
