Marta  is a medicinal chemist proudly coming from Gattinara, a small town famous for its red wine in the hills of Northern Italy. She studied Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology at the Università del Piemonte Orientale (Italy), and obtained her Ph.D. in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Tracey Pirali, developing compounds for an ultra-rare disease (tubular aggregate myopathy) and IDO1 inhibitors for cancer immunotherapy.
