Claudio Molinari

Claudio Molinari serves as an Associate Professor of Physiology within the Department of Translational Medicine at the University of Eastern Piedmont (UPO), where he maintains an active research and teaching profile in physiological sciences.

His research program centers on regulatory neurophysiology, heart rate variability analysis, and the extraskeletal effects of vitamin D, with particular emphasis on translating these findings into practical nutraceutical applications. As co-founder of the university spin-off noiVita, he has developed patented natural extract formulations for dietary supplements targeting cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic health conditions. His work frequently employs in vitro models to investigate synergistic effects of multi-component natural compounds on oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular aging pathways.

Dr. Molinari maintains active roles in professional organizations including the Italian Sports Medicine Federation and the Piedmont Region Commission for Complementary Medicine. He participates in science communication initiatives and serves on the Governance group of the AGING project, reflecting his commitment to interdisciplinary research on aging mechanisms. His publication record demonstrates growing focus on gut-brain axis interactions, vitamin D optimization strategies, and nutraceutical interventions for neurodegenerative conditions and mental health.
