<h2>About</h2>
I'm a computational biologists interested in understanding how genetic and cellular variation shape human complex traits and disease. I am an EMBO and Helen Hay Whitney post-doctoral fellow in the [Pritchard Lab](https://web.stanford.edu/group/pritchardlab/home.html) at Stanford University and a visiting fellow in the [Marson Lab](https://www.marsonlab.org/) at the Gladstone Institutes.
Previously, I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge, working between the groups of [Sarah Teichmann](http://www.teichlab.org/) at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and [John Marioni](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/research/marioni) at the EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute. My PhD research focused on quantifying differences between biological conditions in single-cell genomics data, optimizing the use of cell atlases, and characterizing disease-related cell states, with a focus on tissue immunology.
My work relies on open science, sharing of resources and know-how. I am part of the core team of the [scverse consortium](https://scverse.org/) of foundational tools for analysis of omics data in life sciences, where I work on community outreach and events.
<!-- I make [open source software](https://github.com/MarioniLab/miloR), [analysis workflows](https://github.com/MarioniLab/oor_benchmark) and [curate data resources](https://github.com/Teichlab/Pan_fetal_immune#mapping-the-developing-human-immune-system-across-organs.). -->
<!-- I enjoy several activities and I excel at none: watching movies, reading fiction, board games, cooking, running, cycling, petting dogs. I grew up in Ferrara. -->
