While studying medicine I was fascinated by how research could lead to the discovery of disease mechanisms.  As a young pediatrician, I took care  of children affected by genetic diseases, some of them serious and still without therapy, I felt the urge to act, to do something to help, and I knew that the way to make a difference was to understand the biological mechanism. That’s how research became my passion.
