Dr.Sara Marinelli| Neuropathy and pain| Women Researcher Award

Sara Marinelli conducts research on the mechanisms of central and peripheral neurodegeneration, exploring neuroinflammation’s impact on neuropathies, pain transmission, and chronic pain modulation. Her work aims to identify novel molecular targets and discover innovative therapeutic drugs. Recent research focuses include neural mechanisms of degeneration and regeneration, autophagy, immune responses, and the influence of sex-related and metabolic factors on neuropathological conditions and pain perception. Her investigations also cover spinal cord injuries, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and innate immunity in peripheral degeneration.
