Research area
- Molecular and cellular studies aimed at elucidating the pathogenetic mechanisms in inherited and sporadic endocrine diseases (BMAH, FIPA, MEN) with particular attention to the syndromes that involve the pituitary gland and specifically the GH- and ACTH-secreting forms. I recently start evaluating the role of glucose-insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) in the pathogenesis of acromegaly. - Evaluation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathway in endocrine tumors.
