Gabriele Baj

Prof. Gabriele Baj is an Associate Professor at the Department of Life Sciences, University of Trieste. He is a member of multiple Boards of Studies for academic programs including Neuroscience, Functional Genomics, and Biological Sciences. His research bridges Comparative Anatomy, Cell Biology, and Developmental Biology with a focus on Neuroscience and Mitochondrial Biology.

His work investigates oxinflammatory mechanisms in neurodevelopmental disorders like Rett Syndrome, emphasizing mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammasome activation. Additional research areas include biotechnology applications in photodynamic therapy, cardiac tissue modeling, and synaptic plasticity regulation via receptor trafficking.

Recent publications highlight trends in Neuroscience, Cell Biology, and Biotechnology. Key themes are mitochondrial abnormalities in Rett Syndrome, intestinal organoid modeling for gliadin interactions, and mechanobiology studies on cell-substrate dynamics.

Prof. Baj actively participates in multidisciplinary research projects such as Dissecting the oxinflammatory mechanisms involved in Rett Syndrome (active) and ALL-MICRO (active), funded by entities like Beneficentia Stiftung and the European Commission.
