Research Interest
My goal is to develop a set of tools capable of assessing the status and dynamics of the immune system, with particular attention to the gut mucosa.
I have previously developed a technique named 'Microengraving,' rooted in microfabrication and computational image analysis, capable of assessing the status of the immune system with single cell resolution. Currently, I am developing computational tools that use microbial sequencing data to assess the status and dynamics of the bacterial population in the gut and potentially formulate diagnoses and prognoses.Background
I grew up in Italy and studied at the University of Toronto as an undergraduate. I received a masters of engineering in Mechanical Engineering at MIT prior to beginning my work in the HST program.
