Professional Background

I am focused on unraveling the molecular underpinnings (transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) of the interactions between immunosenescence (myeloid cells) and neuroinflammation (microglia) and identifying putative diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for aging, age-related dementia. In addition, I am interested in understanding the interactions of mRNA and miRNA during inflammaging and understanding the role of RNA-binding proteins in age-related neuroinflammation.
