Veronica Marroccoli obtained her Master’s degree in Biology Applied to Biomedical Research from the University of Milan, graduating with honors. During her studies, she held a Junior Research Fellow position in Elena Cattaneo’s laboratory at the University of Milan and the National Institute of Molecular Genetics (INGM), contributing to the development of stem cell-based therapeutic strategies for Huntington’s disease.
She then worked as a Junior Research Fellow at Humanitas University, where she investigated the molecular identity of pacemaker neurons during cortical development in an ERC-funded project.

She is currently a PhD student in the Molecular Experimental and Computational Medicine (MECM) program at Humanitas University, working in Simona Lodato’s Laboratory of Developmental Neurobiology. Her research focuses on WHIM syndrome and its role in cerebellar development and function, aiming to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders.

Her research experience spans developmental neuroscience, stem cell biology, molecular and cellular biology, transgenic mouse models, advanced microscopy, and behavioral analysis.
