Lina Ghibelli is a professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. She received her Laurea degree (cum laude) in biology in 1979, and later worked as a Research Associate at the University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA, from 1980 to 1983. From 1986 to 1988, she was a Visitor at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. In 1995, she was a Visiting Scientist at the Department of Toxicology, Karolinska Institutet, Solna, Sweden. From 1998 to 2002, she served as a Professor of general pathology at Facolta’ di Farmacia, Universita’ di Urbino. She was an Assistant Professor at the Dipartimento di Biologia, Università di Roma Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy, in 1984, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015. Since 1992, Lina Ghibelli has been the Principal Investigator of the scientific group studying the process of cell death by apoptosis, oxidative stress, survival pathways, biological roles of magnetic fields, and the homeostatic role of melatonin. Her research focuses on the intracellular mechanisms of apoptosis, intrinsic pathways, damage-induced apoptosis, cell response to oxidative stress, and the role of glutathione in apoptosis and survival pathways. She also studies the bio-compatibility of nanoparticles, nanotoxicology, and biological exploitation of carbon nanotubes, graphene, and cerium oxide nanoparticles, with special attention to interaction with cells and the resulting signal transduction.
