Targeting immune aging: new strategies to enhance cellular immunotherapies in older patients

Dr Vincenzi is a resilient, results-driven and highly adaptable biomedical scientist whose international and interdisciplinary journey has spanned five countries, three continents, and multiple scientific disciplines.

Fueled by relentless curiosity, she’s consistently sought opportunities to challenge herself and expand her understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying human biology, disease, and translational applications, using diverse models and techniques.  

Throughout my career, Silvia has gravitated toward ambitious, high-risk projects in dynamic, fast-paced environments. This mindset has equipped her with the versatility and resourcefulness to tackle novel, complex biological questions in a deadline-driven setting, reflected in multiple fellowships, honors, and awards for scientific excellence and communication.  

Beyond the bench, she’s passionate about building meaningful connections, fostering collaborations, and contributing to a thriving, supportive scientific community. She thrives in team settings, generating enthusiasm, maintaining momentum, and sustaining high energy even in the face of challenges.

To complement her scientific training, she pursued a micro-MBA and has held several leadership positions that allowed her to sharpen her strategic thinking, proactively resolve conflicts, and drive group progress. Silvia is energized by opportunities to innovate, lead, and contribute to impactful, translational research that advances human health.
