Dr. Daniela Ruffel on FEBS Network

‘The cliché of a scientist is a very bright and focused person, mostly male and occasionally mad, who is completely engrossed in his work in the laboratory and allows little time for anything else. However, when you get to know scientists more closely, a hidden world of talents is often uncovered. Elisabetta Citterio is not only a passionate molecular biologist who studies histone ubiquitination in haematopoietic stem cells and leukaemia, but also a gifted photographer.

On the occasion of her first photography exhibition entitled ‘STEM Passion – A journey inspired by Women in Science’, we have interviewed Dr Citterio for our Scientists’ Forum.

Read the full interview to discover how this project developed, what it means to Dr Citterio, and how her creativity took women in science one step further’.
