CURRICULUM STUDIORUM
ESPERIENZE PROFESSIONALI
1 - ATTIVITA’ SCIENTIFICA
La mia attività scientifica si è svolta prevalentemente nell’ambito di gruppi di ricerca interdisciplinari in campo biomedico, nei quali ho apportato un sostanziale contributo all’ideazione dei protocolli sperimentali, alla rilevazione e interpretazione dei dati, all’analisi della letteratura e alla stesura di articoli scientifici. Mi sono dedicato primariamente alle indagini morfologiche e di biologia cellulare e molecolare, occupandomi altresì della conduzione di esperimenti su cellule in coltura, su organi isolati e su modelli animali in vivo. I miei studi riguardano i meccanismi fisiopatologici della riparazione tissutale, con particolare attenzione all’interazione parenchima-stroma, in modelli patologici delle più frequenti patologie, quali l’infarto del miocardio, la fibrosi polmonare e l’insufficienza renale. Più recentemente ho iniziato un’attività di ricerca volta all’esplorazione del ruolo dell’istamina in contesti considerati innovativi, quali la nefropatia diabetica.
