معرفی
Enrico Tongiorgi is a Full Professor at the Department of Life Sciences, University of Trieste, with a focus on Biomedicine and Neurosciences. He leads the Cellular and Developmental Neurobiology research group and serves as a member of doctoral study boards including Molecular Biomedicine and Neurosciences and Cognitive Sciences. His work spans pharmacological interventions for Rett Syndrome, molecular mechanisms of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) in neurodevelopment, and drug screening for neurodegenerative disorders.
- Research Interests: Neurosciences, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Pharmacology, Biomedical Engineering, and Neurodegenerative Disease Therapeutics.
- Key Publications: Focus on BDNF signaling, mirtazapine's neuroprotective effects, and computational approaches to Rett Syndrome drug discovery.
Scientific Collaborations include involvement in the Drug Screening Center ProRett and projects like Repurposing Mirtazapine in Rett Syndrome. His research integrates in vitro models, pharmacogenomics, and neurotrophic factor studies to address translational challenges in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.
