Cellular and Tissue Biomedicine
RESEARCH AREA
research line
Aging and neurological disorders
This research line focuses on the biological mechanisms underlying brain aging and neurodegeneration, the genetic drivers of age‑related cellular decline, and the combined influence of genes, environment, and systemic pathways (such as the gut–brain axis) on neurological and developmental disorders.
Research Activities
Exploring the role of neuromelanin and metals in brain ageing, neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative processes in Parkinson’s disease
Investigating the roles of genes involved in age-related diseases to elucidate their molecular mechanisms underlying cellular senescence and tissue damage
Study of the interactions between genes, environment, and the gut-brain axis in autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
Searching for the molecular signatures of rare neurological diseases and their phenotypes (e.g. cognitive impairment)
