Vittoria Cicaloni
Recently finished a PhD with Dott.ssa Cristina TINTI (TLS) and Prof.ssa Annalisa SANTUCCI (UniSi) 

I was a PhD student in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (XXXII cycle) at the Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy Dept. of University of Siena and at Toscana Life Sciences Foundation (TLS). My PhD project is focused on the application of a Precision Medicine approach to rare diseases, development of integrated and interactive databases, algorithms for patient stratification and proteomics data analysis. I am the author of numerous papers on international scientific journals and I was speaker at several meetings such as the regional section meeting of the Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS) and Re(ACT) International Congress. Thanks to BiBim 2.0 PhD program I have consolidated a multidisciplinary scientific background ranging over different competences and I have worked in continuous collaboration between academic and industrial environment. 

During my PhD I also had the opportunity to spend several months at Melbourne University (Australia).
