Laboratory for Muscle Diseases and Neuropathies
The topic of my research group is focused on neuromuscular disorders, in particular on muscle diseases (both acquired and hereditary muscle diseases). My research comprises very distinct aspects of these diseases: clinical, genetic, histopathological, neurophysiological and imaging studies and genotype-phenotype correlations, as well as pathophysiological studies to understand the ...

NEGE will focus on the research of mitochondrial diseases and of genetic malformations of the brain.
Deficiencies of oxidative phosphorylation are at the basis of a heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders, better known as mitochondrial cytopathies. The incidence was long underestimated, but the morbidity and mortality of these conditions have an important impact on public health.
Hundreds of proteins involved in the formation ...

Convincing evidence continues to emerge from clinical trials that gene therapy is yielding therapeutic effects in patients suffering from a wide range of diseases. Moreover. the use of adult stem cells and the reprogramming of cells towards pluripotency are being heralded as some of the most promising developments in regenerative medicine at the forefront of medical innovation. This mirrors worldwide efforts in some of the leading research ...
