I obtained my PhD from the University of Naples “Federico II” (Italy) and then spent a year at the Cardiovascular Center of Excellence of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans (USA), where I investigated the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) gasmediators in cardiovascular system, with particular interest on mechanisms of cardioprotection, suppression of oxidative stress via nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)-dependent signaling in both murine and porcine in vivo models of heart diseases, such as myocardial ischemia and pressure overload heart failure. As a post-doctoral fellow in the Wai lab I am interested in understanding the importance of balanced mitochondrial dynamics in cardiac metabolism and function.
