Research
  1. Functional and behavioral characterization of aldolase C KO mice in collaboration with Proff.s F. Salvatore and A. Usiello present at CEINGE;
  2. Genomic and epigenetic determinant in severe human obesity in collaboration with Proff.ri P. Forestieri, F. Contaldo, F. Pasanisi, L. Sacchetti, from University Federico II, and  CEINGE-biotecnologie avanzate, Napoli. We contributed in the identification and functional characterization of new mutations in master genes associated to severe obesity in adult and childhood subjects living in Campania as well as to the identification of miRNA involved in the regulation of obesity master genes;
  3. Recently we started a research collaboration with Institute of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, Odense (DK),Proff. P. Krustrup, M. Mohr and M. Randers focused on the study of molecular determinants in healthy longevity mediated by Adapted Physical Exercise and Adapted Sport Training. We demonstrated that lifelong football training positively affects the expression of key markers involved in skeletal  muscle differentiation, DNA-repair and autophagy, promoting longevity. Further, we also contributed in determination of new molecular biomarkers that could be used in the fight against GH or DEHA doping in athletes, in collaboration with University of Foro Italico, Roma, Proff. Parisi and Pigozzi, and with CEINGE-biotecnologie avanzate for Proteomic and Metabolomic approaches.
