My academic journey began with a focus on Health-Biotechnology, driven by my passion for research, and progressed directly into Medical School. After completing Medical School, I specialized in Gastroenterology at the University of Padua, where I defended a thesis on endothelial dysfunction in the portal vein in cirrhotic patients. I also pursued a PhD, defending a thesis on portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma under the guidance of Dr. Senzolo and Prof. Burra. This phase honed my clinical and research skills, enabling me to conduct all stages of research projects from design to manuscript writing, collaborating with different professionals and ethics committees. 

In February 2022, I advanced my training as a Fellow at the Hepatic Hemodynamic and Liver Unit, Hospital Clínic of Barcelona, under Prof. García-Pagán and Prof. Hernandez-Gea. Here, I am expanding my expertise in managing portal hypertension and rare liver vascular diseases. I received specialized training in measuring portosystemic gradients, transjugular liver biopsies, and gained insights into transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation, portal vein recanalization, and percutanous portal puncture procedures. Additionally, I am involved in multiple clinical and basic research studies on portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis, vascular liver disease and TIPS complications. The high-quality training I am receiving is equipping me with necessary competencies in the competitive academic field. I've been awarded a national research bursary (Rio Hortega) to extend my Fellowship, allowing further advancement of my skills.

Throughout my career, I presented research at numerous international meetings, enhancing my adaptability and collaboration skills. I served as a Faculty member at major European Liver Congresses in 2023 and 2024, gaining experience in organizing scientific talks. Currently, I'm involved in international research groups like the BAVENO Group and VALDIG, working on the EJP RD JTC 2023 grant project focused on portosinusoidal vascular disorders (RiTA). We are nearing completion of our first paper, where I will be the lead author.
