Biography
Areas of Expertise
My work broadly concentrates on the evaluation of circulating bi-omarkers in several diseases, including neurologic deficiencies, infectious diseases, sepsis, neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease, oncological and cardiovascular diseases. More specifically, my approach starts from the definition of the reference intervals of a biomarker and its subsequent clinical validation. Other re-search interests are the study of metabolism of steroid hormones; es-trogens and their metabolites in rat brain; role of unsatured fat acid in cAMP formation in the retina; inhibitory action of some aminoacids in the brain; function of vitamin A in the retina; cardiac protection from Radicalic Species of Oxygen damage; antioxidant role of vitamin A; ef-fects of retinoic acid of TAT activity.
