My Lab
Translational Biomedicine Lab
Our research group specializes in utilizing techniques from molecular and cell biology, genetics, and various experimental models. Our focus is on identifying new biomarkers and potential molecules to support rehabilitation in patients with neurological and neuromuscular conditions.
view labAbout Me
I have 15 years of post-graduate experience in developing, running and managing research projects in cellular, molecular & tissue biology for academic and healthcare Institutes worldwide. Over the years I have investigated molecular & cellular biomarkers and supported translational research approaches for the development of new therapeutics for chronic conditions, including cardiovascular, renal, neuromuscular and neurological. I use tools from molecular & cell biology, genetics and other experimental models, to identify new biomarkers and drugs that could support rehabilitation in patients with neurological or neuromuscular conditions. My lab is fully integrated into the Biologics Lab at the SRAlab and the PM&R Department at Northwestern University.
