Michele was born and raised in Naples, in the southern part of Italy. He attended his medical education at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. He has a passion for Neuro-Oncology, which drew him to join Dr. Marco Paggi's lab at the IFO Institute in Rome to study the effects of antipsychotics on Glioblastoma during his med school. He is also fascinated by neurodegeneration, and this pushed him to join Dr. David K. Simon's lab at BIDMC, HMS after graduation. Currently, he keeps working with Dr. Simon’s lab on a novel drug for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Michele is currently PGY-1 at Emory University School of Medicine, enrolled in adult Neurology Residency Program. Michele enjoys playing water polo, alternating it with Muai-Thai sparring and playing the piano.
