I work in the MeriGen Lab, that is a private lab. I learned about OpenWetWare by chance after a Google search, and I've joined because I think that science could be free and shared.

Education

 * 2006, PhD in Biotechnologies, University of Napoli "Federico II"
 * 2001, MS in Chemistry, University of Napoli "Federico II"

Research interests

 * 1) New diagnostic protocols in Molecular Biology
 * 2) Forensic Genetics
 * 3) Biostatistic
