Research topics

During the PhD in Neuroscience, my research activity was focused on the integrated analysis of molecular and cellular processes responsible for sensory signals elaborations in normal and pathological conditions.

Since my post-doc fellowship, I am focused on motor systems degeneration and repair, in particular on:

- i) neuromuscular diseases, focusing the attention on the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA),

- ii) possible novel therapies for counteract sarcopenia (in elderly) and muscular disorders.

- iii) the study of integration and differentiation of human telencephalic progenitor cells into striatal neurons in a model of Huntington's disease,

Moreover, I am also studying the biological effects of natural compound exposure in mental health.
