Research focuses on the role of the interaction between acquired and genetic/epigenetic factors in the susceptibility to the development of multifactorial diseases, strongly characterized by oxidative/inflammatory stress, or comorbid conditions associated with them, such as metabolic disorders, cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, psychiatric diseases, osteoporosis, renal failure, and central sensitization syndromes.
Teaching activities conducted in the laboratories consist of tutoring students from the Biotechnology, Medical Biotechnology, Biomedical Laboratory Technicians, and Medicine and Surgery programs, as well as residents from the Clinical Pathology and Clinical Biochemistry, Medical Genetics, Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology, and Pathological Anatomy specialization schools. These activities include laboratory exercises, curricular internships, and professional development activities related to the Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology discipline (SSD BIOS-09/A).
These activities are complemented by the diagnostic work of the Clinical Biochemistry Unit for external users and for the "G. Martino" Hospital Units.
