Professors)
Since November 2005 I’m at the Computer Science division of the School of Science and
Technology, University of Camerino, in the research group of Prof. Flavio Corradini and Emanuela
Merelli. My research interests include computer science (databases, development of software
systems, including web sites and mobile applications, ontologies, workflows, multi agent systems)
bioinformatics and in general Information Technology for health and life sciences.
I'm strongly involved in the transfer of knowledge, business development and in academic
entrepreneurship.
From november 1996 to october 2005 I was (reaching a Senior position) in the Genomics and
Bioinformatics Laboratory of CRIBI Biotechnology Centre at the University of Padova. I was in the
research group of Prof. Giorgio Valle and Gerolamo Lanfranchi, mainly in the design of databases,
strategies, algorithms and programs for the management and the analysis of the genomics and
transcriptomics sequences and gene expression experiments produced in the lab.
At the University of Camerino I’m involved in the teaching of database systems for the BSc in
Computer Science, in the teaching of computer science and bioinformatics for the BSc in
Biosciences and Biotechnology, and in the teaching of Bioinformatics Programming (module of
Genomics and Proteomics) for the MSc in Biological Sciences. At the University of Padova I was
involved in the establishment and teaching of the three courses in Bioinformatics for the BSc in
1
Molecular Biology and collaborated to the e-learning development project of the Faculty of
Science.
My studies include a PhD in Biotechnology at University of Padova and a degree in Computer
Science at the University of Pisa, separated by some (non-academic) work for IT firms. I obtained
also a Master in Business and Management from the University of Padova.

STUDIES
Master in Business and Management, 04/12/2009
Università di Padova
Thesis: “An academic-corporate spin-off for delivering bioinformatics services: the business plan
Tutors: Prof. Giacomo Boesso , faculty of Economy, Università di Padova; prof. Giorgio Valle,
dept. of Biology, Università di Padova
Courses: Accounting and Finance, Management in Organisations, Marketing Management and
Customer Behaviour, Operations Management, Corporate Social Responsibility, Management of
Knowledge, Strategic Management, Business Planning
In my MBM thesis I designed the business plan of an academic-corporate spin-off for delivering
bioinformatics services, aiming at satisfying a strong need for difficultly obtainable scientific and
technical competences.
PhD in Biotechnology, 07/02/2003
CRIBI biotechnology centre, Università di Padova
Thesis: “Analisi bioinformatica dell’espressione genica in muscolo scheletrico umano” (in italian;
“Bioinformatics analysis of gene expression in human skeletal muscle”)
Tutor: prof. Giorgio Valle, dept. of Biology, Università di Padova
Courses: Molecular Biology 1, Genetic 1, Genetic Engineering, Molecular Biology 2
The aspect that I better investigated in my PhD thesis is that of the construction of relational models
representing the biological entities involved in the regulation of gene expression, both at the
transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. The work is based on two different resources
2
produced at the CRIBI Center of the University of Padua, which I actively participated to develop:
the TRAIT database of human skeletal muscle transcripts and the database of their expression
profiles in various tissues and cellular lines at different developmental stages and ages, analyzed by
hybridization on cDNA microarrays.
Degree in Computer Science, 23/04/1993
Università di Pisa
Votation: 110/110 cum laude
Thesis: “Un modello formale di reti data-flow per sistemi di controllo” (in italian; “A formal model
of data-flow networks for control systems”)
Courses: Geometry, Algebra, Theory and Application of Calculating Machines, Mathematic
Analysis 1, Physics 1, Numerical Calculus, Statistics and Probability Calculus, Systems for
Elaboration of Information 1, Mathematic Analysis 2, Operating Research, Physics 2, Systems for
Elaboration of Information 2, Methods for treatment of Information, Systems Theory, Bioelectronics, Elaboration of Non-Numerical Information, Formal Languages and Compilers, Project
of Numerical Systems.
My studies included operating systems, concurrent languages (CSP), computation theory, formal
languages and compilers, AI, mathematical logic, knowledge representation, vision, neural
networks, bioelectronics, PROLOG and COMMON LISP languages, Object Oriented programming
(CLOS), project of parallel architectures, firmware and microprogramming. In the thesis, developed
at CNUCE Institute of CNR, Pisa with prof. Luca Simoncini, dr. Andrea Bondavalli and dr. Cinzia
Bernardeschi, I studied formalism for data-flow networks and proposed an extension of an existing
model to formalize a data-flow language particularly suited for implementation of distributed
control systems with high requisite on parallelism, modularity and reliability.
High School Diploma in Computer Science, 12/07/1985
Technical Institute “ITIS C. Zuccante”, Venezia-Mestre
Votation: 58/60 (highest given from the final exam commission)
Courses: Computer Science, Analogic and Digital Electronics, Systems and Automation, Italian
Literature, Hystory, Mathematic Analysys, Statistics and Probability Calculus, English Language,
Physics, Chemistry, Natural Sciences.
I learnt programming in BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL and ASSEMBLERS (UNIVAC, DATA
GENERAL, 6502) and microprocessor control systems. For the final exam I programmed an
electronic-sheet (some kind of precursor of MS-EXCEL!) and projected and implemented a little
prototype of a microprocessor controlled system for the automatic regulation of the luminosity
inside an environment. In this period I developed also ad-hoc programs for some clients.
