Background

About Francesca Izzi

PhD-trained scientist with expertise in neurobiology and protein interactomics, currently exploring roles in R&D or clinical trials within the pharmaceutical industry. My background includes translational research in neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease) and pain studies, with hands-on experience in target validation, drug screening, and primary cell models. I’ve worked extensively with proximity labeling (miniTurbo), LC-MS, and electrophysiology (MEA), alongside classical molecular biology techniques. I’m particularly interested in applying my skills to early-stage drug development, biomarker discovery, or clinical trial coordination, where I can contribute to bridging the gap between bench research and patient outcomes. Trilingual (Italian, English, German), based in Tübingen, and open to relocation within Germany or Europe.
