We are the people

Here you can connect and read few words about our proud AIRC Start-up Unit team – who we are, what we are proud of, aspirations and future plans!

Elisa Giovannetti
Principal InvestigatorMy research is focusing on the study of the mechanism of action, toxicity and efficacy of anticancer agents, as well as in the field of clinical pharmacology of chemotherapeutic drugs, including modeling of pharmacogenetic studies, mostly in pancreas and lung cancer…
