I recently graduated in Biological Sciences and I am currently seeking to develop research projects focused on collagen and its potential biomedical applications. Living with a collagenopathy -Kniest dysplasia- has strongly shaped my scientific interest in collagen biology and in exploring the therapeutic potential of collagen-derived peptides. In addition, I am actively involved in patient associations and serve as a reference contact for individuals and families affected by rare skeletal disorders, which strengthens my commitment to connecting scientific research with real community needs. My goal is for this type of research to contribute to meaningful advances that may eventually improve quality of life and generate tangible benefits for patients.
