Interventional endoscopist at Endoscopy Unit, AOU Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino, Turin (Italy).

From november 2019 I performed more than 2000 endoscopic procedures (>800 upper GI endoscopy, >400 endoscopic ultrasound, >300 ERCP , >600 colonoscopy), with a special focus in hepato-biliary-pancreatic endoscopy, which is the field of interest of my research project.

'08/2017 - '08/2018: clinical fellowship in advanced endoscopy at the Gastroenterology  department (MDL  - Maag, Darm and Leverziekten; director: prof. J. P. Drenth) of the RadboudUMC (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) under the direct supervision of prof. P.D. Siersema. Special focus on endoscopic resection techniques in upper and lower gastrointestinal tract (EMR), treatment of gastrointestinal strictures, bilio-pancreatic endoscopy (endoscopic ultrasound and ERCP).
