She is an associate professor of Genetics at the University of Verona. Since 2016, her research focuses on developing and implementing innovative genomic technologies and approaches for the analysis of genomes and the identification of genetic variants, both in humans and in plants.

In 2019, she founded Genartis, a startup offering services in the field of personalized genomics and DNA sequencing, with the goal of transforming academic findings into useful tools for medical diagnostics. During the pandemic emergency of 2021, Geneartis created the first genetic test that assesses the risk of developing severe symptoms from Covid-19. The test can identify a particular DNA region inherited from Neanderthals and associated with severe Covid-19.
