Tripodi Farida

Dr. Tripodi Farida is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences, University of Milano-Bicocca. She leads Tripodi’s Lab (#TripodiLab_BtBs), conducting research at the intersection of fundamental biochemistry and therapeutic development.

Research Focus: Her work spans multiple domains including:

• Cancer metabolism and dietary interventions
• Neuroprotection against aging and degeneration
• Cellular signaling pathways (AMPK/Snf1)
• Metabolite regulation in disease
• Antimicrobial resistance mechanisms

She employs diverse models from yeast to human cell lines and plant biochemistry.

Publication Trends: Recent work (2018-2020) shows strong emphasis on metabolic regulation in oncology and neurodegeneration, with therapeutic applications of natural compounds and nutrients. Earlier research (2016) demonstrates collaborative work on overcoming antifungal resistance through novel small-molecule approaches targeting efflux pumps and signaling pathways.

Laboratory: Tripodi’s Lab focuses on translating biochemical mechanisms into therapeutic strategies, with facilities including molecular biology and cell culture capabilities (rooms 5011-5013, Building U3).
