Tiziana Borsello

Tiziana Borsello currently works at the Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences, University of Milan. Her research fields are focused on chronic neurodegeneration models (Alzheimer's Disease), and her works revealed an important role for the JNK signaling pathway in AD. She is now focusing her research efforts in identifying new therapeutical strategies to prevent synaptopathy (spine dysfunction/loss) both in neurodegenerative diseases (as AD and tauophaty) than in developmental ones (Rett, Angelman). In the last years, the Borsello's laboratory is studying the involvement of JNK pathway in tauopathy, underlying the influence of sex on neurodegenerative diseases.
