Stefan is a 4th year PhD student working under the supervision of Silvia Monticelli. His thesis focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to highly pro-inflammatory phenotypes of human T lymphocytes, and that may be potentially linked to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
The IRB wishes to congratulate Stefan for these awards.
