She is currently full professor of Medical and Biotechnology Laboratory Techniques at the University of L’Aquila, Italy.

She awarded the Fellowship “Leonino Fontana e Maria Lionello” for Cancer Research, Fondazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro (FIRC) (1999) and the “AICC prize for senior investigators” (2008).
She co-authored 65 papers in international peer-review journals (Scopus H-index: 29) and filed 2 patents.
