Produzione scientifica incentrata su studi di caratterizzazione delle alterazioni morfo-funzionali di organi e tessuti sia in modelli animali che nell’uomo, riguardanti l’apparato riproduttivo maschile.

Ha contribuito a mettere a punto un modello animale di Sindrome metabolica e a studiarne le alterazioni morfo-funzionali a carico di vari organi (ipotalamo, tessuto adiposo, muscolo scheletrico, prostata, testicolo, polmone), testando anche gli effetti terapeutici di vari trattamenti nell’ambito di progetti finanziati da Company farmaceutiche.

Grazie all’istituzione di una banca di cellule e tessuti fetali umani, studia i meccanismi neurogenetici e differenziativi di neuroblasti fetali umani (neuroni striatali, neuroni colinergici del nucleo basale di Meynert) e lo sviluppo e funzione dell’asse riproduttivo umano in colture primarie di neuroni ipotalamici GnRH-secernenti.

Dal 2022 è coordinatrice di un accordo internazionale di scambio culturale e scientifico con il Dip.to di Anatomia Umana dell’Università di Praga, che prevede anche la mobilità di studenti per corsi di dissezione anatomica presso la terza facoltà di Medicina, oltre alla collaborazione per attività di ricerca incentrata su tecniche di neuroimaging.

Finanziamenti per la ricerca:

Dal 2003 Partecipazione a progetti di ricerca ministeriali (MURST-Cofin; PRIN; FIRB; Ministero della Salute) o in convenzione con industrie.

Dal 2012 riceve il finanziamento annuale di Ateneo per la ricerca

2017 assegnataria del “Fondo per il finanziamento delle attività base di ricerca”

Scientific production focused on characterization studies of morpho-functional alterations of organs and tissues in both animal models and humans, concerning the male reproductive system.

He contributed to developing an animal model of Metabolic Syndrome and to studying its morpho-functional alterations in various organs (hypothalamus, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, prostate, testicle, lung), also testing the therapeutic effects of various treatments in the context of projects funded by pharmaceutical companies.

Thanks to the establishment of a bank of human fetal cells and tissues, she studies the neurogenetic and differentiation mechanisms of human fetal neuroblasts (striatal neurons, cholinergic neurons of the basal nucleus of Meynert) and the development and function of the human reproductive axis in primary cultures of hypothalamic GnRH-secreting neurons.

Since 2022, she has been the coordinator of an international cultural and scientific exchange agreement with the Department of Human Anatomy of the University of Prague, which also includes the mobility of students for anatomical dissection courses at the Third Faculty of Medicine, in addition to collaboration for research activities focused on neuroimaging techniques.
