Driven by her passion for chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences, Federica earned her degree in Medicinal Chemistry at the Sapienza University of Rome. Subsequently, she pursued a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, delving into the novel study of non-canonical metabolic proteins that bind nucleic acids, which was deepened during her Post-Doctoral Fellowship.
Her research focused on defining new molecular metabolic pathways potentially relevant for cancer and neurological diseases and the development of innovative therapies for their treatment, the results of which were presented at numerous national and international conferences and published on peer-reviewed journals.
Awarded by a mobility grant, she conducted part of her research activity at the Institute of Enzymology, Research Centre of Natural Sciences (RCNS) in Budapest. She also tutored undergraduate students in Medicine and Surgery, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology at Sapienza University of Rome.
With a solid academic and scientific background, Federica decided to apply her skills for significantly contributing to the Italian healthcare system improvement, joining the Angels Initiative and supporting the effective optimization of the treatment pathway for stroke patients.
