the Interdepartmental Center of Cancer Research “G. Prodi”,
University of Bologna. In these years she worked at the
Experimental Hematology Laboratory (Institute of Histology and General Embriology) studying cell differentiation, cell cycle, growth
factors, and actively participating in researches regarding megakaryocytopoiesis
biology, hematopoiesis regulation in normal subjects and in
patients with bone marrow aplasia and the biological effects of
potential antiblastic substances on normal and leukemic
hematopoietic cells.
