Dr. Nadia Lampiasi earned her degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Palermo. She obtained her Ph.D. in Cell Biology (Cell and Developmental Biology) from the University of Palermo (VII cycle). During 1994–1998, she worked with a permanent position as first-level Biologist Manager in the Cytogenetics laboratory, at the Maternal and Children’s Hospital of the Polyclinic (IMI), University of Palermo. In 1998, she was a researcher at the Institute of Biomedicine and Molecular Immunology (IBIM) ex IBS and today IRIB, National Research Council (CNR), Palermo. In 1998, she began her independent research activity as head of the laboratory “Molecular Mechanisms that Regulate the Inflammatory Response of Mast Cells to Substance P”. Her main field of scientific interest is the study of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to inflammation both as an acute cell response (macrophages, mast cells) and as a chronic response that can promote cancer. In recent years, she has also been involved in the study of the mechanisms that regulate cellular differentiation of macrophages into osteoclasts.
