I am currently a PhD student at the Tettamanti Research Center in Monza, where I work in the research group led by Dr. Giovanni Cazzaniga. My work is focused on a high-risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia occurring in infants (patients diagnosed before their first birthday) with the KMT2A gene rearrangement. I routinely culture and maintain various leukemia cell lines, perform drug sensitivity assays, and analyze cellular responses to treatments.
