Alberto graduated in the master programme in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Trento with a thesis focused on the role of maternal mycobiome in the development of infants’ immune system during breastfeeding, at IATA-CSIC in Valencia (ES). After graduation he was awarded a fellowship to investigate the effect of genetic mutations in the spike protein of SARS-Cov2 and humoral immunity development in Covid-19 patients in the laboratory of Virus-Cell Interaction at the University of Trento.

He then moved in Milan, where he was granted a one-year fellowship in the Laboratory of Translational Immunology at Humanitas University to investigate the role of different T lymphocytes subsets in graft versus host disease and graft versus tumour response in bone marrow transplantation. He is currently enrolled in the PhD programme in Molecular and Experimental Medicine at Humanitas University with a project focused on T-cell immunity in the kidney microenvironment in renal cancer settings.
