Experience

  Curricular research internship
  This project evolved two main objectives. First we studied the impact of NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) on peripheral glucose homeostasis. Secondly we addressed the long term effects of glucose intolerance in the brain, in an animal mouse model of pre diabetes.

  Research fellow
  This project aimed to highlight molecular and cellular mechanisms governed by the molecule CD26/DPP4 in experimental mouse models of induced hepatocyte damage. We found that CD26/DPP4 enzymatic activity contributes to recovery from liver injury and is a potential systemic surrogate marker of severe impairments in the Kupffer cells population (liver resident macrophages).

  Phd candidate
  My work was mainly focused on the research field of liver fibrosis, a complication of many diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), type 2 diabetes and obesity. I was mostly interested in exploring the role of innate immune system, specifically macrophages, and their interplay with the development of liver fibrosis and fibrosis resolution.
