Research Projects
Present Reasearch Projects
Projects @CCBR:
Mouse Heart Pathway Project (Main Directory of my work)
With: Ruth Isserlin. Supervised by: Andrew Emili and Gary Bader.
I am specifically working on the gene expression analysis using:- Set-enrichment
- Identification of active miRNAs
- Pathway profiling
- Network profiling
Active Cell Map (pathway & network: topology, expression profiling, activity patterns, etc...)
Supervised by: Gary Bader.
Ongoing Collaborative Projects:
Biomedical Ontologies, bridging clinics and molecular biosciences
Past Research Projects
Projects @UNIMIB:
Analysis of Time-course Microarray Data
With Italo Zoppis. Supervised by: Marco Antoniotti.- enahncements of the GOALIE approach to time-course data analysis
the PIFS data-set analysis (with the CDC of Atlanta & University of South Wales)
- Clinical Phenotype Ontology for Cerebrovascular Disorders (NEUROWEB Project)
With Gianluca Colombo, Giuseppe "Beppe" Frisoni, Flavio De Paoli, Marco Antoniotti. Supervised by: Giancarlo Mauri.

Activity Reports
Work logs, concerning on-going reserach activity, will be visible only to lab members.
Memoranda, concerning paper and seminar summaries, or more general considerations, will be kept more open.
Knowledge Sharing
Here's the knowledge & expertise I wish to share with anybody who wants to.
Computational techniques & resources:
PCA (Principal Correspondence Analysis) & CA (Correspondence Analysis)
- Correlation Measures (Pearson, Spearman)
Distance Measures (continuous data: Euclidean, correlation-based; binary data: Hamming, Jaccard-based; sets: Jaccard-based)
a few tips on distances (especially for binary strings)
- Standard Affymetrix Microarray Analysis
- (CEL files handling, Normalization, Signal computation (e.g. rma), Exploratory Analysis, Differentially Expressed Genes)
- Clustering (hierarchical, K-means, CLICK, etc...)
- Statistical tests (t-test, Fisher's, Kolmogorov-Smirnov)
- Gene Ontology
I usually program with:
R (see also Bioconductor)
Go to my How To Directory for tips with R programming.
Biological Systems and Pathologies I've been working on (in order of confidence):
- Mammalian Immune System (focus on Dendritic Cells)
Ischemic Stroke & Atherosclerosis
- Mammalian Chromatin Modification
- Yeast Cell Cycle
Resume & CV
I was born in Saronno (VA, Italy) in 29/07/1981. I lived, studied and worked in the Milan metropolitan area till November 2007. I got my BSc in Molecular Biotechnologies (July 2003) and my MSc Bioinformatics (July 2005) at Università di Milano-Bicocca. I started my PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Università di Milano in 2005.
My scientific interests are:
- Pathways and Networks
- Human Phenotypes
- Expression Data and Transcriptional Regulation
Biomedical Knowledge Engineering & Representation
- Philosophy and Sociology of Science
For more details, please have a look at my CV: CV.PDF.
