My research has focused on the study of the genetic bases and the pathogenesis of different genetic diseases, including inherited metabolic disorders (isolated cytochrome c oxidase defect, primary coenzyme Q deficiency) and urea cycle defects.
I set up different systems to validate pathogenic mutations and to establish genotype-phenotype correlations, using different approaches in both yeast and mammalian cells. To unravel the function of different genes involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain, I also employ multicellular organisms, including C.elegans and Zebrafish.
I am now involved in cancer genetics research, particularly on the study of the mechanisms driving pediatric cancers associated with a genetic predisposition. I am employing the same organisms to model germline mutations in oncosuppressors/oncogenes identified in rare tumor predisposing syndromes in order to deeply analyze cancerogenesis and to set up simple models for drug screening.
