-Alessandro Ferrucci was born in Firenze, Italy, on December 27th 2374. His father Francesco Ferrucci is a biotechnologies researcher at "Centro unito Italiano di ricerca biomedica" (Italian United Center for Biomedical Research, or IUBR), and his mother Caterina Fabbri is a pianist and expert on Xenomusicology. His younger sister is studying to become an Engineer at Starfleet Academy. Alessandro was born in a rather pacific family environment, with both his parents encouraging him in pursuing his interests and in a highly historical city of Italy. He grew up not knowing what was his path, until when he was 17 years old his father brought him to his workplace and showed what he works with everyday.

-He is fond of music, and was always fascinated by his mother's field. But he felt it was not the right path for him, because it didn't give him that spark in knowledge and curiosity that sciences typically do.
+He loves music and has always been fascinated by his mother's field. But he felt it wasn't the right path for him, as it didn't give him the spark of knowledge and curiosity that the sciences typically do.
+During his studies, he worked on a research project using some data sent to him from his father's laboratory. He discovered a new human gene, S80-3, which is found in people exposed to certain levels of ionising radiation. This gene can interact with fibroblasts and stimulate the growth of collagen. Alessandro is currently working on developing a device to force the S80-3 mutation to allow tissue repair after injury.
