Long-time interested in human-nature relationships and interactions, I studied medicine at University of Turin (UniTo). I wrote my thesis about pesticides exposure and respiratory health in the UniTo Epidemiology department where I worked for the following year. There I had the chance to study climate change in the Environmental Epidemiology framework and to contribute to the activities of the RIAS (Rete Italiana Ambiente e Salute) project.

I'm dealing with two projects, which focus on climate change and child health from: (I) A mitigation perspective: calculating the diet-related impact, in terms of Greenhouse Gas emission and Land Use, of a child cohort and analyzing its relation with child growth.(II) An exposure perspective: analyzing the exposure of an Italian child cohort to climate-sensitive events and conditions, their time and space variability and their health impact.
