I graduated in Electronic Engineering at the University of Genoa in 1982 and got a PhD in BioEngineering at the Polytechnic of Milan in 1987.
From 1988 to 1990 I worked by "RST - Software Grafico e Scientifico", a small company active in the development of software for elaboration of biomedical images.
From 1990 to 1993 I worked as a Researcher at the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Oncology of the University of Genoa.
Since 1993, I've been a researcher at IST, the National Cancer Research Institute of Genoa, that was merged in September 2011 with the main university hospital
of the town making life to the "Ospedale Policlinico San Martino".
Since 1989, my research interests have been in the field of biomedical data management.
I designed and contributed to the development of the Molecular Probe Data Base,
of the Cell Line Data Base
and of its associated hypertext HyperCLDB.
Recently, I contributed to the development of the
Cell Line Integrated Molecular Authentication (CLIMA) Data Base,
now in its version CLIMA 2,
which also include a cell line identification tool.
Since 1999, I'm in charge of the CABRI (Common Access to Biological Resources and Information)
network services offering living resources from 28 European collections.
I'm currectly participating in the IS_MIRRI21 EU project,
that is aimed at the implementation of the European Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure (MIRRI),
and in the Joint Research Unit MIRRI-IT aimed at the implementation of the MIRRI Italian national node.
Since 2004, I'm working in the Bioinformatics laboratory and
I have been involved in researches on network standards, technologies, tools and applications in bioinformatics.
I designed and developed Biowep, a Workflow Enactment Portal for Bioinformatics and
MultiTargetScan (MTS),
a tool for searching targets for many miRNAs in a single run.
I'have also developed tools for computational mass spectrometry: Geena, a tool for filtering, averaging, and aligning MALDI/TOF MS data,
GeenaR, a revision of Geena based on R libraries, and
SeraDeg, a tool for assessing quality of sera.
I'm author of about 70 publications in peer-reviewed international journals.
I'm the creator of Network Tools and Applications in Biology (NETTAB) workshops,
that are being held annually since 2001.
I participated in many Programme Committees and have been a referee for many journals, including
Bioinformatics and
Nucleic Acids Research.
I'm Associated Editor of BMC Bioinformatics
and member of the Honorary Editorial Board of
Advances and Applications in Bioinformatics and Chemistry.
I coordinated the National Network for Oncology Bioinformatics
(Rete Nazionale di Bioinformatica Oncologica - RNBIO) from 2007 to 2011 and I'm presently coordinating the
Liguria Bioinformatics Network (in Italian)
(Rete Ligure di Bioinformatica - ReLiB).
I'm a member of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) from 2001 and of the Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS) since its foundation.
