Ciao a tutti! I’m Beatrice Cosentino, a Master’s student in Biostatistics from Milan, Italy.
After completing my studies at a scientific high school, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Statistics and Data Management from the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2022. For my Bachelor's thesis I focused on Covid-19, analysing and comparing the first two major waves of infection in Italy, from March 2020 to February 2021.
This early exposure to applying statistical methods in the clinical field inspired me to choose the Master’s degree in Biostatistics at Milano-Bicocca University, which I’m currently working on. From the start, I knew I wanted to spend time abroad, and the Traineeship opportunity seemed like the perfect fit for me.
During my stay I will be working on my thesis titled “Natural history of difficult-to-treat depression in adolescents from the first antidepressant trial”. Although this is a new area of study for me, the topic has always fascinated me, and I believe this could be a great opportunity to explore the topic more.
I’m genuinely excited to grow on every level, to learn from each of you, and to apply what I’ve been studying over the past few years.
I look forward to meeting you and becoming a part of the PharmaSafe group!
