🎙️ In this twelfth episode of the new season of Italian Village – Il Podcast, we are proud to welcome Giulia Varsano, a pioneering scientist whose career spans from the laboratories of La Sapienza University in Rome, through a Ph.D. in Germany, to her current role as Senior Scientist II at Nuevocor Pte Ltd in Singapore.
With a strong focus on AAV-based gene therapies targeting genetic cardiomyopathies, Giulia Varsano leads a high-performing and interdisciplinary team within the Target Discovery unit. Her work involves not only developing innovative research platforms but also identifying and validating novel therapeutic targets that could change the trajectory of treatment for cardiovascular diseases. Positioned at the intersection of fundamental science and translational medicine, Giulia’s leadership is instrumental in shaping the next generation of therapies, bridging the gap between academic discovery and industrial application.
From designing and refining assays in close collaboration with preclinical teams, to drafting detailed invention disclosure forms for securing intellectual property, Giulia brings both scientific precision and forward-thinking strategy to her work. Her expertise extends beyond the lab, as she regularly presents her research to international academic institutions and biotech partners, facilitating meaningful scientific exchanges and cross-border collaborations. Her role exemplifies how scientific leadership can drive innovation while building bridges across global research communities.
🔬 In this episode, we dive deep into Giulia’s remarkable journey—from her early academic roots in Europe to her current role in Asia’s rapidly evolving biotech landscape. We discuss how scientific ideas transcend borders, how international mobility shapes a research career, and how her commitment to biomedical innovation is helping to improve lives around the world through advanced gene therapy.
Join us for a powerful and engaging conversation on global research careers, the role of women in STEM leadership, and the evolving frontier of genetic medicine. Whether you’re a scientist, a student, or simply curious about the future of biotech, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
