Associate Professor of Physiology at Sapienza Università di Roma she is a biophysicist with a strong background in electrophysiology and imaging.

Her research in the field of neurophysiology has been focused on synaptic transmission and on glia to neuron communication in the brain and in the retina.

Her background education in physics made her able to play a key role in the development of multidisciplinary projects, in collaboration with engineers, medical doctors, biologists and SME, producing several publications. In the last years, her research interests are focusing on the impact of protein aggregation and neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental pathologies with multidisciplinary approaches (electrophysiology, imaging, molecular and cellular biology, bio-fabrication).

Her research team hosts about 3 PostDoc and 4 PhD from different disciplines (Biologists, Biotechnologists, Physicists).
