Prof. Cristina Lanni
Associate Professor in Pharmacology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Pavia, Italy.
Brief Introduction: Starting from the pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Cristina Lanni studied the molecular characterization of the physiological effects of beta-amyloid on cellular network. She also participated to research new peripheral biomarkers for AD and described the modulation of p53 activity by physiological concentrations of Aβ. At the moment she is researching on molecular players considered involved in complex interactions associated with the inverse correlation between cancer and AD. Her current H-index is 38.
