Dr. Débora Peretti
Dr. Débora Peretti has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in theoretical physics, and a PhD in Nuclear Medicine. She obtained her PhD in 2020 at the University of Groningen with her dissertation “Quantitative Brain PET Analysis Methods in Dementia Studies”. Her work is mainly focused on the methodological aspects of analyses of positron emission tomography (PET) images, with a focus on neurodegenerative disorders.
After finishing her PhD, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the UMCG on a project that aimed at looking for new Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers based on neuroradiomics using PET images and offering methodological support to other PET projects within the Nuclear Medicine department and the Movement Disorders group. In 2021, Dr. Peretti moved to the Laboratory of Neuroimaging and Innovative Molecular Tracers at the University of Geneva, where she has focused on the analysis of PET data and clinical biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Peretti is now a Research and Teaching fellow, where she is working on her own lines of research on molecular connectivity and advanced methods for PET image analysis. In addition to her work at the University of Geneva, she provides methodological support for the analysis of PET images in the Movement Disorders group at the UMCG and is a member of the Molecular Connectivity Working Group.
