Luca Gherardini Defends PhD Thesis
Great news to kick off the year!
We’re thrilled to share that our colleague Luca Gherardini has successfully defended his PhD at Queen’s University Belfast!
Luca — massive congratulations on reaching this important milestone. It’s a big leap toward a bright and successful future for you. We’re proud to have you on the Sano team and can’t wait to see what comes next!
Luca’s doctoral thesis, titled Towards Collaborative Computational Models for Predicting and Understanding Complex Degenerative Disease Trajectories, explores innovative approaches to using computational methods for understanding and forecasting the progression of complex diseases — a research area closely aligned with Sano’s mission.
A special thank you goes to the examiners — Prof. Emanuele Trucco, Dr Richard Gault, and Prof. David Simpson (chair) — for their superb work, and to Luca’s supervisors, Dr Jose Sousa, Dr Roger Woods, and Dr Imre Lengyel, for their guidance and support throughout this journey.
