Giulia Leschiutta earned her Bachelor’s degree in Science of Nutrition and her Master’s degree in Molecular, Health and Nutritional Biology from the University of Urbino, where she received a Young Investigator Award and gained research experience in molecular oncology. Her passion for research led her to pursue an International Master’s degree in Neuroscience from the University of Trieste (Italy), where she conducted two projects in collaboration with the Neuromodulation and Behaviour group at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). Giulia is currently pursuing her PhD at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany, investigating the mechanisms of structural and functional brain plasticity following peripheral vestibular loss and their augmentation by neuromodulation in animal models and patients.
