Lines of Research
Research activities are on the following topics:
Pharmacological development of anticancer therapies, anti-inflammatory and gene expression control
- Development of advanced pharmacological approaches for the control of drug-resistant metabolic and tumor pathologies by means of in vitro and in vivo experimental models
- Application of complex alternative experimental models (organoids) for the pharmacological study of novel molecules in chronic inflammatory disorders
- Application of intestinal organoids for the evaluation of state-of-the-art pharmacological/pharmacokinetic strategies in the correction of CFTR channel defects.
Pharmacology of lipid metabolism
- Pharmacological/nutritional modulation of cellular lipid metabolism and inflammation for prevention and treatment of chronic diseases in experimental in vitro and in vivo models.
- Assessment and pharmacological/nutritional modulation of human serum lipoprotein functions in chronic diseases in ex vivo experimental models
