Biography

Roberta Imperatore, PhD, is a Researcher in Comparative Anatomy and Cytology at the Department of Science and Technology, University of Sannio (Benevento, Italy). Her research primarily focuses on the neuroanatomical and cytological characterization of neuroendocrine and metabolic systems, with a specific emphasis on the modulation of the endocannabinoid and orexinergic systems in response to dietary and environmental factors. In recent years, she has extensively dedicated her scientific activity to animal welfare in aquaculture, investigating the impact of functional diets and bioactive compounds on intestinal and hepatic health. Using experimental models such as Danio rerio (zebrafish), her work integrates advanced histology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular biology to evaluate the efficacy of sustainable ingredients and antioxidants in mitigating inflammatory processes and oxidative stress. She has authored numerous publications in high-impact international journals and serves as a Review Editor for several prestigious scientific journals in the fields of neuropharmacology and biotechnology. Her multidisciplinary expertise, bridging functional morphology and nutritional physiology, makes her a key figure in the study of innovative solutions to enhance resilience and quality in aquaculture production.
