معرفی
Daniela Giustarini serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Siena, where she teaches Drug Toxicology (3rd year Pharmacy) and Pharmacology and Therapeutics II (4th year Pharmacy) through the 2025/2026 academic year.
Her research spans critical areas of pharmacological investigation:
- Pharmacology and Toxicology
- Oxidative Stress and Redox Biology
- Glutathione Metabolism
- Cancer Research (particularly triple-negative breast cancer)
- Aging and Neurodegenerative Mechanisms
- Rare Metabolic Disorders (Alkaptonuria)
- Cardiovascular and Endothelial Pathophysiology
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a cohesive research trajectory centered on thiol redox systems, particularly glutathione and cysteine metabolism. Her work demonstrates how oxidative stress mechanisms underpin diverse pathologies including cancer progression, erythrocyte disorders, neurodegeneration, and uremic toxicity. Key methodological approaches include redox proteomics, thiol-disulfide balance assessment, and evaluation of cytoprotective agents like melatonin and N-acetylcysteine.
