Biography and Research Interest
Research interests
Extraglandular steroidogenesis and the roles of steroid receptors in zebrafish development and adult life, with particular attention to glucocorticoid receptor. The roles of the autophagic proteins Ambra1a, Ambra1b and Epg5 on zebrafish development and autophagy. Use of the zebrafish model to study the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of new potential therapeutic molecules.
