Manuela Cervelli, Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at the “Roma Tre” University, has been involved in the study of the structure, expression, and regulation of several animal and plant genes. In particular, genes coding for polyamine oxidases and genes for small nucleolar RNAs. Nowadays, the laboratory in which she is working is mainly focused on the characterization of some genes coding for polyamine oxidases and on the study of polyamine metabolism using different animal model systems and cell lines. She is the author of about 60 full papers and numerous national and international scientific meeting abstracts.
