Claudia Colussi

Role: Senior Researcher

Research group: FISIOMAT

Dr. Colussi’s research is focused on the key pathological pathways leading to neurodegeneration in the Alzheimer’s disease including altered neurogenesis, the impact of post-translational modifications on synaptic protein function, and epigenetic mechanisms at the basis of inflammation-dependent neurodegeneration.
Settori ERC:
LS5_3 Neuronal development, plasticity and regeneration,
