Position title: Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Insubria, Via Ravasi, 2, 21100 Varese, Italy. Research activity: She is primarily occupied in studying the pathogenic mechanisms of Parkinson’s Disease and in finding new peripheral biomarkers for the disease, by using multidisciplinary approaches (with a combination of biochemistry, proteomics, systems biology approaches). Specific fields of her research concern: (i) the role of mitochondrial impairment in Parkinson’s Disease, (ii) the study of specific and common pathways of neurodegeneration; (iii) the verification of a panel of biomarkers in T-lymphocytes. She was the executive manager of the Italian action "standardization of the mitochondrial proteome analysis" for the mitochondrial Human Proteome Project (mt-HPP) consortium, part of the worldwide HPP promoted by the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO). Dr. Alberio is author of 38 full papers published in international peer-review journals (h index = 15; 574 total citations, according to Scopus), most of which are focused on proteomics approaches to investigate Parkinson’s Disease.
