معرفی
Paola Lorenzon is an Associate Professor of Physiology at the University of Trieste's Department of Life Sciences since 2002. She coordinates the International Master's Degree in Neuroscience, serves as Coordinator of the OPBA program, and holds key roles in multiple PhD cycles including Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (XXVIII to XXXVIII cycles) and Biology (SM50). Her research focuses on neuromuscular plasticity, aging effects, and microgravity adaptation mechanisms.
- Education: Bachelor's in Biological Sciences and PhD in Biochemistry from University of Trieste
- Research Experience: University of Milan, San Raffaele Milan, University of Ljubljana, University of Bonn
Her research spans three main areas: neuromuscular junction plasticity, electrostimulation protocols for muscle regeneration, and Piezo1 ion channels in mechanotransduction. Current projects funded by the Italian Space Agency (MIAG, NEMUSY) investigate muscle atrophy in spaceflight and aging.
Notable collaborations include working with Annalisa Bernareggi (electrophysiology), Marina Sciancalepore (electrostimulation), and Alessandra Bosutti (project coordination). Her lab employs primary satellite cell cultures, electrophysiology, and mechanotransduction studies to explore muscle regeneration mechanisms.
