Participation in Working Groups

  • WG3 - New methodologies to study mechanobiology of cells and tissues

Research Interests

His research interests cover the
following fields: Structure and function of the nucleus and Inositide-dependet
Signalling. He has discovered the
existence of the nuclear signalling pathway
via inositol lipid cycle and he is
internationally recognised in the field of inositide signalling as “one the fathers of nuclear inositide signalling”
for his seminal work in this issue. In particular since the last years
his main interest is the study of the nuclear localisation and signalling
activity of polyphosphoinositides. Namely he has furtherd the role of this
signalling pathway in the nucleus during myogenic differentiation, giving new
insight to its role in myotonic dystrophies, as well as during haemopoietic
differentiation, envisaging the pathophysiological
significance of nuclear phosphoinositide signalling in Myelodysplactic
Syndromes
