Research Interest
biochemical studies on Physiopathology and Pharmacology of the Central Nervous System in experimental conditions of hypoxia, ischaemia, hyperammoniaemia, ipoglycaemia on the cerebral energy metabolism and actions of drugs on the brain energy state, molecular mechanisms of ageing and drugs interference, the study of Parkinsons disease and drugs actions in Dementia, clinical studies on Molecular Medicine and Human Genetics on patients affected by neurological diseases or Alzheimers disease.
