Rosanna AvolaResearcher, Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry, National Research Council, Italy
Biography
Rosanna Avola was born in Enna, Italy, in 1985. She received the master?s degree in Chemistry and
Pharmaceutical Technologies, University of Catania, Italy, in 2013. In 2017, she received the Ph.D.
degrees in neuroscience from the University of Catania, Italy. From 2017, she held a number of qualified
academic tutor and research posts, including a research fellowship at the University of Catania, Italy. In
2018, she managed to get her own research fellowship at Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry, National
Research Council (C.N.R.), Catania, Italy. She is interested in many research topics including the
generation of in vitro cell culture models of inflammation and neurodegeneration, the evaluation of the
cellular mechanisms and their modulation by nutraceutical compounds in physiological and
pathophysiological in vitro models. Much of her scientific production is based on the evaluation of the
expression profile of aquaporins (AQPs) and the knowledge on stem cells biology with a special attention
to the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue. Her current research interests
include the design of nanostructured systems useful in the delivery of molecules of biological relevance
and the characterization of natural or synthesis compounds in complex natural matrices.
