Our Story

I came from Italy to USA 28 years ago to work on two collaborative projects of cancer metastases and thrombosis models at Temple University, PA. I honestly believed I was going to stay for a year or two, but I never left from US and continued working at different labs with great passion and drive. While at times it has been heartbreaking to be so far away from my family, the scientific environment and its wonderful opportunities for discovering more effective cancer therapies simply captivated me, and here I remain.
