Silvia Belluti

Dr. Silvia Belluti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia since September 2022. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms in cancer progression and epigenetic regulation, particularly in prostate cancer and melanoma.

Her work spans several subfields including:

• HDAC and Hsp90 inhibition strategies
• Transcription factor NF-Y in cancer aggressiveness
• Epitranscriptomic regulation of gene expression
• Metal-based pharmacological agents
• Alternative splicing in tumor development

Recent publications highlight her expertise in developing dual inhibitors (e.g., Hsp90/HDAC6), exploring sigma-2 receptor antagonists for melanoma, and investigating epigenetic mechanisms in skeletal muscle regulation. She collaborates with researchers like Carol Imbriano and Giulio Rastelli on computational and experimental approaches to cancer therapy.
