She completed most of her clinical training in Italy, followed by a research fellowship in neuroimmunology at the University of Pennsylvania and a clinical-research fellowship in multiple sclerosis and neuroinflammatory disorders at McGill University.

Her research has contributed to characterize the features associated with onset of multiple sclerosis during childhood, to define the accuracy of the diagnostic criteria in this age group, and disclose early markers of brain damage through the use of advanced MRI techniques. She also contributed to the clinical, imaging and laboratory characterization of MOG antibody associated disease, and is involved in international initiatives aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
