Chiara Coppola is a Ph.D. student in Physiology at the University of Salento, Italy. She holds a master's degree in Biology (cum laude) from the University of Salento in 2022. Chiara is qualified by the National Order of Biologists. Her research interests are focused on molecular and physiological mechanisms involved in cardiovascular diseases. She collaborates with the ''Città di Lecce'' hospital in Lecce, Italy. She is actively engaged in a clinical study titled ''cardio-miRNA'', which aims to identify biological markers of cardiovascular pathologies, in particular, ischemia, using innovative biosensor technology. Furthermore, her research extends to investigating the underlying mechanics of protein aggregation phenomena and altered clearance processes, which are common to both cardiomyopathies and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
