After receiving a master degree
in Biotechnology at the University of Verona (Italy)
in 1998, I joined the neuroscience centre of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a large research - based pharmaceutical company based
in Verona (Italy) and Harlow (UK), where I pioneered the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to describe the neural substrates modulated by
pharmacological agents, a line of research that I also pursued to obtain a PhD degree
in biomedical imaging with the University of Verona.
