About me
Chiara got her PhD in Molecular Medicine in Milan in 2009 and, after six years in Copenhagen as a post-doctoral fellow working on “functional proteomics”, Chiara started her own group as a Wellcome Trust-funded fellow at The University of Manchester in 2016. She became Principal Investigator at the Manchester Breast Centre in 2021. Chiara was a visiting scientist at the University of Utrecht in summer 2022 and got promoted to Senior Research fellow in 2022. Chiara will move to the Danish Technical University, DTU Bioengineering, in July 2023 as Associate Professor, while keeping an honorary position as Senior Fellow at the University of Manchester.
