Elena Spinetti

I come from Italy where I graduated from the Master’s program in Quantitative and Computational Biology (University of Trento) and I am now a PhD student in Biophysics.

My work aims to use Molecular Dynamics simulations to understand the structural dynamics and organization of proteins that play an important role in health and disease, including IRE1 and the HIV protein ENV.

Gianmarco Lazzeri

PhD Student at the CovinoLab since 2021.
Graduated in Physics at the University of Pisa (Bachelor’s degree, 2017), and in Quantitative and Computational Biology at the University of Trento (Master’s, 2020). His academic career is leading him North. With a knack for developing methods, aims to channel his talent towards good scientific practices. Currently using Artifical-Intelligence to investigate complex processes in biological systems. Hopes to update this description soon
with some exciting results.
