Research
- Investigation of post-hypoxic alterations in a murine model of perinatal hypoxia, with particular emphasis on the reciprocal interactions between noradrenergic nuclei of the reticular formation and cardiomyocytes.
- Investigation of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration, with a particular interest in subcortical nuclei vulnerability and resilience during aging.
