The main research fields are nutritional biochemistry and cellular biochemistry.
The main research interests are:
- the study of strategies to reduce the risk of chronic / degenerative diseases, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative ones, through the identification of nutraceutical compounds in the prevention and counteraction of cell damage following different type of stresses;
- the study of the signal transduction pathways involved in the adaptive response to physical exercise;
- the study of bioactive and nutraceutical compounds as modulators of signal transduction pathways at the cellular level.
