She subsequently held a research fellowship at the University Politecnica delle Marche, Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (P.R.I.N. 2008: Ancient medical texts, tradition and ecdotics). Later on, she carried out research in Germany, in Berlin, obtaining various grants at the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum (CMG) of the Academy of Sciences (BBAW), from 2009 to 2012. From 2012 to 2015 she was a research associate within Prof. Philip van der Eijk’s research programme “Medicine of the Mind, Philosophy of the Body” (Alexander-von-Humboldt-Professorship of Classics and History of Science) at the Institut für Klassische Philologie of the Humboldt Universität; at the same Institution she was a visiting fellow in 2016 and 2017/18.
