Welcome to our website

Our laboratory is based on an interdisciplinary approach that includes mouse models for hypertension, microsurgery, cardiovascular phenotyping, behavioral phenotypig, vascular function, in vivo and ex vivo imaging, biochemistry, cellular biology and molecular biology.

 

As part of the Department of Molecular Medicine of "Sapienza" University of Rome, our group is based at Neuromed Institute in Pozzilli (IS), a centre of excellence for Neurological and Neurovascular Diseases, sited in South Italy.
