Research Fellow at Sapienza University of Rome, with a PhD in Innovative Biomedical Technologies in Clinical Medicine. My research focuses on the mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle and adipose tissue wasting in chronic catabolic conditions, and on how these body composition changes contribute to functional decline and adverse clinical outcomes. I am interested in how metabolic, inflammatory, and epigenetic alterations contribute to tissue remodeling, and in the role of non-coding RNAs, particularly microRNAs, as regulators of these processes. My work combines patient-based molecular profiling, small RNA analysis, and in vitro mechanistic models, to characterize tissue-related microRNA signatures associated with muscle and adipose tissue dysfunction. The broader aim of my research is to identify clinically relevant molecular pathways that may support the development of novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for chronic catabolic conditions.
