Hello everyone!

My name is Carla and I am a biotechnologist: I have always been attracted by the infinitely small and by the microscopic world.

I am a researcher at the Blizard Institute, a research centre of the Queen Mary University of London, where I work on the smallest virus that can infect humans: the hepatitis delta virus (HDV).

With this blog, I would like to show you the fantastic world of viruses and biotechnology, and I will be happy if you would join me in my daily life as a scientist. I will write my posts both in English and Italian.

If you have any curiosity about science or if there is any topic you are particularly interested in, please leave a comment and I will write a post for you!
