Dr Francesca Perini

After obtaining a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience in Italy in 2012, Francesca moved to Manchester, UK, to work on clinical trials testing pharmacological interventions. But at the same time, she noticed the benefits of Mindfulness on her own experience, and finally in 2018 she had the opportunity to join the AWAKE Lab at the National University of Singapore, and to systematically study the effects of Mindfulness-based interventions on Sleep difficulties as a Research Fellow.
From 2021 she is a Project Manager at TrentinoSalute4.0, Italy, an initiative aiming to fill the gap between planning, research and actual implementation of innovative solutions on digital healthcare.
Eager to further develop her understanding of Mindfulness from both a scientific and experiential point of view, she is currently training to become an MBSR instructor and wishes to promote Mindfulness-based interventions for sleep also in Italy.
