Maria Regoni

Maria Regoni is a tenured researcher in Pharmacology (SSD/BIO-14) at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University of Milan, where she has worked since 2017. Her research focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, particularly in juvenile Parkinson's disease models.

• PhD in Molecular Genetics (University of Brescia, 2017)
• MS in Medical Biotechnology (University of Brescia, 2012)
• BS in Biotechnology (University of Brescia, 2010)

Her research investigates synaptic alterations, neurotransmission imbalances, and glutamate receptor roles in neurological diseases, with emphasis on validating kainate receptors as novel drug targets for neuroprotective therapies. Recent publications analyze dopamine neuron necroptosis, VPS35's role in Parkinson's, and AMPA receptor pathophysiology.

Scientific awards and assignments are not explicitly listed in the provided text. She has held multiple teaching roles since 2020, instructing pharmacology courses across various health science programs.

Maria's work combines preclinical mouse modeling with electrophysiological techniques like patch-clamp recordings to study disease mechanisms. Her laboratory affiliation has been with the Neuropsychopharmacology Lab at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University's Division of Neuroscience.
