I grew up in Madrid, where I studied Biomedical Engineering. Impressed by the complexity of biological systems, I thought it could be amazing to use physics to understand them a bit more. I’m still hoping to get some answers one day, but if I don’t, at least it’s being fun. In this project I am focusing on understanding the mechanisms underlying mechanotransduction in the developing heart, and for that I am using light sheet microscopy imaging.

I grew up in Bucharest, Romania but I spent my last five years studying Computer Science in the United Kingdom. After having the opportunity of processing confocal microscopy images and MRI, I realised that my passion lies at a closer boundary with biology and help understand biological processes. For this I am grateful to the 4DHeart project for the chance to work in this interdisciplinary field.

Graduated in Medical Biotechnology at the University of Bologna (Italy). I grew up in a small village of the center of Italy. I love travel and I visit most of the European Country and when I have enough time and money I always organize some adventurous trips. I enjoy to spend time with people and discover new cultures and tradition. I decided to join this project because it is definitely a good opportunity, no just to learn and improve in scientific field but also to know new people and to travel around Europe.
