Organization (WHO). After graduation with honours in Medicine, I trained at the
School of Neurology and I got the international PhD at the University of
Catania (Italy). As visiting Clinical Research Fellow, I further trained at the
Department of Neuroscience, Newcastle University (UK). In 2013 I was selected
for a Scientific Fellowship promoted by the European Federation of Neurological
Societies (EFNS). From October 2015, I am teaching Neurology at the Kore
University of Enna (Italy). I have co-authored more than 90 publications in
