Francesca Gilli, Ph.D., M.Sc, received her M.Sc in Medical Biotechnology and Ph.D. in Human Biology from the University of Torino (Italy). She then completed her postdoctoral research in neurobiology at University of Torino (Italy), and neuroimmunology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth (USA). Dr. Gilli currently serves as Associate Professor of Neurology and of Microbiology and Immunology at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, where she works as a basic scientist. She has a broad background in neuroimmunology, neurobiology, and molecular biology, with specific training and expertise in both human systems and animal modeling toward preclinical research. Dr. Gilli’s current research attempts to understand the basic biology of neuroinflammation, demyelination, and neuronal injury by using different rodent models of multiple sclerosis.
