Sara De Biasi

Sara De Biasi obtained PhD in Clinical and Experimental Medicine (Immunology) from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy in 2013. She is Assistant Professor of Pathology and mmunology in the lab of Immunology directed by prof. Andrea Cossarizza. Most of her work focuses on the variability of adaptive immune response in COVID-19, HIV, autoimmune, and cancer patients. During the last two years, she is studying the immune
changes in patients with COVID-19 and receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

Dr. De Biasi has been an International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) Marylou Ingram Scholar and now she is a Councilor for the same Society.
