Nationality:
Even if I tried to hide it, you would immediately get it...I am just too Italian I'm afraid. I do have the German nationality too, though, eh eh.
Protein/molecules of interest:
I used to love p53, then I started focusing my attention onto these fascinating pole-to-pole oscillating Min proteins, but, lately, there is NO doubt: my favorite molecule is LOV!
Most useful bioinformatics tool:
I am stuck at BLAST
Best model organism:
Everything but Drosophila!
Favorite plasmid/cloning strategy:
Classical restriction digestion-based cloning (this might reveal my age, though. I shall say Gibson Assembly to stay cool!)
Favourite place in the lab:
I am secluded in the office most of the time, but I'd rather be at the benches were the exciting science is taking place!
When a experiment does not work, you…:
Get totally mad!
Amounts of coffee per day:
2 in the morning, one espresso after lunch and this is it.
Songs to best describe lab life on a good day/on a bad day:
Ok, this one is tough. I sing all the possible songs in my head all the time, but lately I became obsessed with Måneskin, so I'd say "Moriro' da re" on a good day and "Torna a casa" on a bad day
