| Research Summary | I am interested in understanding the role of nutrition metabolism and mitochondrial function in developmental plasticity and the predisposition to metabolic syndrome in adulthood. I am also interested in the coordination between metabolism and cell signalling in malignant transformations. My current work focuses the role of PTEN/SOCS3 signalling and macrophage polarisation in neuronal plasticity. |
