Teaching and Training:

📝 Dr. Erica Pietroluongo is deeply committed to advancing her skills in clinical research and teaching methodologies. In April 2023, she participated in a Medical Writing Course organized by the Italian Society of Surgery in Campobasso, in collaboration with prestigious institutions like Springer Nature and the University of Naples Federico II. This course equipped her with essential writing skills vital for disseminating research findings effectively. Moreover, in June 2023, she further honed her expertise as an “Expert in Evaluation and Facilitation of Regional Oncology Networks” through a program facilitated by AGENAS, the National Agency for Health Regional Services. 🌟 These training initiatives underscore Dr. Pietroluongo’s commitment to enhancing her capabilities and contributing to the advancement of healthcare practices.

Research Focus:

🔍 Dr. Erica Pietroluongo’s research focus primarily revolves around two key areas: thymic epithelial tumors and breast cancer. In her studies on thymic epithelial tumors, she explores the impact of SARS-Cov-2 mRNA vaccines on patients’ immune responses and seroconversion. Additionally, she investigates the potential diagnostic role of miRNAs in breast cancer, particularly miRNA-27a and miRNA-128, packaged in extracellular vesicles. Her work not only sheds light on the immunological responses to COVID-19 vaccines in cancer patients but also aims to identify novel biomarkers for improved diagnosis and prognosis in breast cancer. Dr. Pietroluongo’s research contributes significantly to both oncology and immunology fields. 🎯
