PhD in Public Health, Clinical Medicine, and Oncology at University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy. My research focuses on the impact of multistrain probiotic supplementation on gut microbiota composition and metabolic parameters in overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). I am also investigating the efficacy of polyphenols in the management of metabolic disorders, including liver steatosis, diabetes, and obesity, with particular interest in their role in modulating metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
