MARTINA Toscano
I am 26 years old, I'm from Catania and I studied Medical and Forensic Biotechnologies in Perugia, Italy.
Before joining CMP3VdA, I worked as a biotechnologist in analytical laboratories and on cruise ships where, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was in charge of swab processing.
Today, my role at CMP3VdA is Support Technician. I am in charge of handling blood and tissue samples, from which I extract DNA and perform Next Generation Sequencing techniques!
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and tasting new dishes, traveling, and ... to relax, cross-stitching!
VITTORIA Perseghin
I am 29 years old and I am from Aosta. I studied Industrial Biotechnology at the University of Turin and I am a Senior Biologist since January 2023.
My role at CMP3VdA is NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) Technician. Specifically, I am in charge of blood sample processing, nucleic acid extraction, genomic library preparation, and massive genome sequencing with both Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies. In addition, I am involved in the management of the laboratory and the instrumentation.
My passions are outdoor mountain activities as hiking, climbing, skiing... and playing music! I have been playing the trumpet since I was a child, a passion that led me to study this instrument at the Conservatory of Aosta and beeing part of the "Corps Philharmonique of Chatillon".
