Giovanni Marconi

Personal Statement In November 2020 I graduated as “specialista in ematologia” at \"Istituto L. e A. Seragnoli\" in Bologna. In Italy, this graduation comes after 4 years of active practice in hematology and it is considered the end of training and a PhD equivalent. I was recently selected for a consultant/junior faculty position at “Istituto Scientifico Romagnolo per lo Studio e la Cura dei Tumori (IRST)”. As I achieved this position relatively young, IRST will reserve 30% of my time for training, 50% of my time for research and 20% of my time for patient care for at least for the next 2 years. I was also selected for another PhD in experimental hematology, oncology and experimental pathology and agreed with PhD referee to attend PhD activity in my protected time and with extra efforts. I already published good research jobs many focused on retrospective or lab research on leukemia. Results from the prospective clinical trials that I set together with my actual mentor Giovanni Martinelli in 2017 and 2018 and that started enrollment in 2019, are coming, and major publications are expected in the next 2 years. I plan to continue a path to excellence in the field of acute leukemias with active training and I accepted to take this commitment also working to develop and open new frontiers in my home institution.
