I direct the Laboratory for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders (LAND) at the Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems (CNCS@UniTn) at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Rovereto, Italy. My interests and expertise span multiple disciplines (psychology, neuroscience, genomics, data science, machine learning, computational biology, bioinformatics, neuroendocrinology) and are all applied in a translational research program focused on understanding heterogeneity and early developmental mechanisms involved in autism and atypical neurodevelopment.
