Assistant Professor of Clinical and Translational Science
University of Pisa
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pisa. My research focuses on the application of advanced cardiovascular imaging techniques to improve the diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of patients with heart failure and valvular heart disease. A central theme of my work is the development of novel, non-invasive measures of cardiovascular damage to better characterize patient risk across a broad spectrum of cardiometabolic conditions.
After earning a Master’s Degree in Medical Sciences from the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, I specialized in Cardiology at the University Hospital of Pisa and completed a PhD in Clinical and Translational Sciences. My academic and clinical training included placements at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan and St Mary’s Hospital in London. I hold multiple international certifications in cardiovascular imaging and have completed postgraduate courses in heart failure and cardiometabolic medicine in the United Kingdom.
I am an active member of the Transthoracic Echocardiography Certification Committee of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) and of the Heart Failure Specialists of Tomorrow (Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology). I currently supervise a PhD student working on improving the non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, and I am involved in several national and international collaborations aimed at advancing precision cardiovascular medicine.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to the field of cardiovascular physiology through numerous peer-reviewed publications. My scientific activity is driven by a strong commitment to improving patient outcomes and by a belief in the value of interdisciplinary collaboration in translational research.
