Federico Colombo (born on April 12,1988 in Modica, Italy) He has obtained a BSc degree in Biological Science at the University of Trieste, where he is now attending the first year of the Master degree in Functional Genomics. He is the team member who searches and reads scientific articles both at the beginning, during the first brainstorming and during the practical work in lab, finding solutions to evade the problems we encounter. He likes playing the guitar, it helps him to chill out and relieve tension. He also loves going skin-diving, sport that demand the athlete more than a physical preparation, rather a mental maturity. He also has a unique affinity with his labmate Elisa; they communicate softly, probably the characteristics that differ widely them from the other 2 team groups! |
