Francesca coordinates the digital health research activities on the Visual and Data-intensive Computing Sector at CRS4 (prev. Research Programs Digital Health/Healthcare Flows). Her research activity spans the opportunities and problems arising from the application of computer science to medicine, working on interoperability, traceability, telemedicine and modelling of data and processes in the clinical context. In her 20 years of research experience she has cultivated ongoing collaborations with public and private organisations, including research institutions, hospitals and industries operating in the health IT sector, with particular attention to the direct application of research results in clinical practice. She holds a Ph.D. in Innovation Sciences and Technologies from the University of Cagliari and a degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Genoa. Her present research interests are mainly focused on the modelling of biomedical data and processes, with a particular attention to interoperability and traceability, also in the perspective of the application of the FAIR Principles. In particular, she is currently working on: the modelling of genetic data through the openEHR formalism, within the openEHR Genomics Project; a standard under development about provenance information in the biotechnology domain (Standard ISO 23494, ISO Technical Committee 276), defined by BBMRI-ERIC, the European research infrastructure for biobanking; methods and models to express the dynamic consent about the use of data and samples, in collaboration with the Italian Node of BBMRI-ERIC.
