My research of interest is in the field of Neuroscience within specific research focuses (1) Study of the molecular and cellular processes underlying tumor progression aiming to identify carcinogenic biomarkers and new therapeutic targets. (2) Investigate the morphological and molecular aspects characterizing neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and diabetic retinopathy DR). (3) Characterize the physiological role of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and their involvement in neurodegenerative diseases (ALS and DR).
