  Research Project: "Post-transcriptional regulation of HIV-1 gene expression by the host factor MATR3”. Laboratory of Molecular Virology. Aim: investigate the role of the host factor MATR3 in the post-transcriptional steps of HIV-1 replication. The project is based on two main objectives: I) assess the role of MATR3 during viral replication in acute infection and II) investigate the role of MATR3 in the establishment and maintenace of viral latency.

  Laboratory training for master degree thesis: “Pathogenic role of HIV-1 gp41”. Experimental retrovirology and non-human primate models division. Aim: investigate the contribution of the different domains of HIV-1 Envelope protein gp41 to the infectious process through the creation of viral chimeras and the analysis of their infectivity and sensitivity to antiretroviral drugs and neutralizing antibodies.

  • Oct 2008 - Jan 2009

  Laboratory training for bachelor degree thesis: “Loss of acetylation homeostasis during neurodegenerative conditions and possible implications of Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors”. Laboratory of Neurochemistry. Aim: analyze the role of Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs) and Histone Deacetylase (HDACs) in regulating genic expression and evaluation of acetylation imbalance in neurodegenerative disorders; examine therapeutic potential of histone deacetylase inibitors (HDACi) in the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
