About Me:

Hi all,
my name is Chiara and I am a molecular biologist working at the University of Cambridge. After studying and working in many different European countries (Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, France), I am now living in the beautiful city of Cambridge together with my partner. I have an unconditional love for ginger cats. I love listening to music, reading books (mostly classic novels and historical/political essays), playing piano, traveling around the world, and watching movies (and yes, Japanese anime).

My Work:
I look for interesting signatures in the DNA that can explain why species look like that and what we can do to make sure that they do not go extinct
