Research clusters

Cell signaling and neuropathology

Understanding the variety of cellular and molecular processes underlying pathologies affecting the Central Nervous System (CNS) is critical to advance in the identification of therapeutic opportunities for neurodegenerative disorders. This cluster is dedicated to studying complex biological processes behind neuropathologies by focusing on stress cell signaling pathways and signaling pathway-driven fibrosis as possible new therapeutic targets for diseases affecting the CNS and innervated skeletal muscle. On top of that, we expect that our effort will also open new venues.
