      I was fascinated with all things connected to Science and once I saw inside a Laboratory, I knew what I wanted to do. Yes, I loved Science at school-I studied Biology and Chemistry, not Physics.

      Thanks for the question. Always interested in science, always asking why things worked, why did things happen in a particular way, what happens if…. I became a scientist to answer my own questions and to change the quality of life for cancer patients.

      I like science since I was at school. We used to have a teacher who owned his private lab somewhere in the school and who was always talking about this, but he never took us there because of our bad behaviour in the classroom. Then after some years, during my undergrad studies, I spent many hours in the lab and I realized that I like more theory and computer simulations that experiments, but that’s a different story…
