Benedetta Fiordi is one of the 2024 winners of the "PhD Booster" programme launched by the Faculty of Medicine, which aims to promote young talent in biomedical research.
Benedetta studied medical biotechnologies at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, where she got her bachelor's and master's degrees and developed a strong interest in hematological malignancies. In 2021, she joined the Lab of Prof. Jandus at the University of Geneva, first as an intern, and later as a PhD student focusing on the role of Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC) in blood cancers. Her research investigates the potential of a neuro-derived molecule, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), to reactivate dysfunctional ILCs in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
In her free time, Benedetta enjoys cooking, especially for others, and cherishes the moments spent around a table, chatting with loved ones.
