Laura Bianchi

Laura Bianchi is an Associate Professor at the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Siena, specializing in molecular and cellular research with interdisciplinary applications. She teaches Bioinformatics for undergraduate Biological Sciences and graduate programs, including Biodiversity and Environmental Quality, as well as Nutritional Biochemistry and Data Analysis.

Her research spans molecular biology, cell biology, and proteomics, focusing on disease mechanisms (e.g., vitreoretinopathy, cancer-obesity interactions) and environmental toxicology (e.g., pollutant effects on marine species). Recent work emphasizes in vitro, in silico, and ex vivo models for understanding pathological processes and biomarker responses.

The 2022–2023 publications highlight her contributions to proteomic profiling in ocular diseases, breast cancer, vascular disorders, and environmental health. Her work integrates computational analysis with experimental validation, addressing both human health and ecological impacts.
