Bastioli Guendalina

Bastioli Guendalina serves as a Fixed-term Researcher in the Department of Pharmacology at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, where she conducts research on neurodegenerative diseases and teaches pharmacology across multiple health science programs.

Her primary academic affiliations include:

• Department of Pharmacology (BIOS-11/A)
• School of Medicine

Dr. Bastioli's research program focuses on the intersection of neuropharmacology and neurodegenerative diseases, with particular emphasis on:

• Mechanisms of calcium deregulation in Parkinson's disease
• Role of mitochondrial function in neuronal death
• Neuroinflammation processes in neurodegeneration
• Pharmacological interventions targeting calcium homeostasis
• Genetic models of parkinsonism, particularly LRRK2 mutations

Analysis of her nine publications from 2016-2024 reveals a cohesive research trajectory investigating calcium signaling pathways in neurodegenerative disorders. Her work spans multiple methodological approaches including in vitro models, animal studies, and analysis of genetic mutations. A significant portion of her recent work has focused on identifying novel therapeutic targets related to calcium homeostasis in Parkinson's disease, with potential translational applications.

Dr. Bastioli maintains an extensive teaching portfolio across the university's health science programs:

• General Pharmacology for Medical students (two sections)
• Neuropharmacology for Physiotherapy students
• Drug discovery in Neuropsychopharmacology for multiple degree programs
• Specialized pharmacology courses for Obstetrics, Dental Hygiene, and Biotechnology programs
