Prof. Laura del Senno University of Ferrara, Italy

After postdoctoral training in Ferrara, London and Rome, Laura del Senno established her group at the Ferrara University. Her research focused on understanding the molecular basis of genetic disease by studying structure, methylation and expression of specific genes: from globin genes in thalassaemias to oncogenes and oncosuppressor genes in neoplasias.... read morePolycystins and the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease are the focus of her present research, with the aim of identifying calcium-related molecular pathways leading to the disease.
