Pelliconi supports cancer research with AIRC.

The final project, winner of Pelliconi’s research scholarship in collaboration with AIRC - Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro, was presented today at Pelliconi's Headquarter. The winner is young and talented: born in 1990, Dr. Elisabetta Puliga graduated in Biology, with a master's degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology; then she received a PhD in Molecular and Translational Medicine at the Pittsburgh University (USA). Thanks to this scholarship Elisabetta entered the research group of Dott.ssa Silvia Giordano at IRCC, near by Turin, one of the most prestigious cancer research centers in Italy. Today, Dr. Puliga explained the goals of her research on gastric cancer to Marco Checchi (CEO of Pelliconi), involving the audience and meeting all the employees of the company. It has been a nice chance to meet and know each other.
