fellows

Giorgia Cimato
I graduated in Biology at the Alma Mater Studiorum in Bologna.
I subsequently moved to Germany where I obtained my PhD at the University of Hamburg.
During my work at the Leibniz Institute of Virology, I investigated the genetic factors of HCMV responsible for viral tropism in human epithelial cells and leukocytes.
I can't wait to start a new adventure at LMV as a post-doc research fellow!
Marina Bambi
I received my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Florence and my Master's degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Pavia. I then received my Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology from the University of Parma, where I deepened my knowledge of microbial ecology in tropical areas.
I joined the LMV group through a research grant to work on an exciting project focused on the genetic and genomic study of yeast-host interactions.
During my academic journey, I gained hands-on experience in both laboratory analysis and bioinformatics. This fellowship offers me the opportunity to focus exclusively on bioinformatics, allowing me to further improve my skills in this rapidly evolving field.
I am a determined, curious, and enthusiastic person who takes pride in my own personal and professional growth. I am excited to embark on this new chapter with the LMV team and look forward to contributing significantly to our common goals.
