Personal information

Biography

Starting from my study Institution (San Raffaele University, Milan, IT) and accomplishing visiting fellowships throughout Europe (firstly to the Thoraxcentrum - Rotterdam, NL - then to the Charité - Berlin, DE), in November 2014 I entered the Swiss residency program for cardiology at the University Heart Centre, University Hospital of Zurich (USZ), CH. Here, I gathered useful extra-experience in internal medicine, cardiac surgery and intensive care while being formed as a modern cardiologist (with deep knowledge of cardiovascular imaging: TTE/TOE, CMR, CT and Angiography).
Concurrently, I was able to follow my passion for the clinical research, which originated in my early career at San Raffaele University (main focus: PCI). By being actively involved in several research projects focused mostly on percutaneous valve intervention (e.g. MitraClip, TAVI) and machine-learning applied in Cardiology (e.g. ACS, Takotsubo), I learnt the research language and tools (Excel, SPSS, JMP, Powerpoint). I had the opportunity to assist the pre-clinical development of two novel devices, which following entered the clinical practice: Cardioband and TriCinch.
