Francesca Failla

I am a Molecular Biologist with nearly 3 years of experience in the IVD medical devices field. During my employment, I developed a strong passion for ART technologies, which inspired me to pursue a one-year short specialization degree in Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Reproductive Sciences. Now, I am eager to pursue a career in this field and become an Embryologist, to make a meaningful difference in people's lives through my work in assisted reproductive technologies.

Nearly 3 years of experience in the field of development and manufacturing of IVD (In

Vitro Diagnostic) devices, the field of Genetics, Infectious diseases and Assisted

Reproductive Technologies (ART).

Thanks to my dedication and passion for the subject matter, after my temporary period as

Lab technician, I was hired as a researcher, gaining new tasks and responsibilities. Main responsibilities include:

o Junior Researcher, Apr 2021 - Mar 2023
