from Italy..to California



Hello,
I’m Micol Macellari and I come from Italy.
I grew up in a small town not far from Milan but nearby the country where we produce different and very good kind of wines. For this reason I promise myself to do a “Napa Valley wine tasting-tour” before my return to Italy in order to compare Italian and Californian wines and to judge which are the best!

Last november I received my Masters degree in Medical and Molecular Biotechnology at the university “Vita-Salute San Raffaele” in Milan.

My professional objective is to integrate my scientific skills with experiences that allow me to effort my entrepreneurial spirit in order to be able to recognized, develop and bring to market a "good" scientific project.

With this aim I decided to take part in the Fulbright /Best Silicon Valley Immersion program.

My business project is about the creation of a biotech start-up focused on innovative therapies for several cardiac pathologies based on the unique capacity of a specific protein of inducing stem cells migration and proliferation

During our first week in California we didn’t have enough time to get bored!
One of the first thing that we’ve learned is that in Silicon Valley lunchbreak doesn’t exist!











...just a sandwich...







But if you go to San Francisco ( and we went there!!) you can taste one of the most typical dish at the Fishermans warf: fried calamaries and crabs! Very good…the only problem is that it is quite difficult to digest!!!



But...even if we’re so far from our country, we can find here a lot of "things" sounding italian!







...a roadsign in San Francisco...










So, I tryed to tell you a little bit about myself..
see you soon,
bye bye
Micol

When I went to Italy I got some interesting behaviors I had never used, for example the use of Viagra Online I didn't know it was so common in Italy, since teenagers having fifteen years old they do that.
