معرفی
Andrea Benzi is a Contract Professor and Researcher at the Department of Experimental Medicine (DIMES) of the University of Genoa. He teaches Biochemistry and Laboratory in the Biotechnology undergraduate program and Human Biochemistry and Diagnostic Biotechnology in the master's curriculum.
Research Focus: Dr. Benzi investigates the role of NAD+ metabolism in disease contexts, including
- Cancer biology (multiple myeloma, pancreatic cancer)
- Neurodegenerative disorders (ALS, neurodegeneration)
- Ion channel regulation (TRPM2) in metabolic tissues
- Potential therapeutic strategies targeting senescent microglia and tumor cell metabolism
Recent Trends: His 2024-2025 publications highlight NAD+ dysregulation in asymptomatic ALS stages, anti-CD38 therapy sensitivity in multiple myeloma, and TRPM2's role in adipose tissue dynamics.
Research Tools: Utilizes molecular biology approaches to study metabolic pathways and ion channels, with applications in oncology, neurology, and metabolic syndrome research.
