S&T Expertise*

I contributed in establishing the existence of different time periods of transcription necessary for memory consolidation, as well as the role of mRNA and protein synthesis during memory extinction and persistence. Later I studied the role of the protein TDP-43 in neurodegenerative disease initially characterizing the different TDP-43 pathological species found in the patients with TDP-43 proteinopathies such as FTD and ALS, finding regional differences in inclusion composition. I also focused on developing cellular models that recapitulate the disease process through expression of different TDP-43 species. In parallel, I developed novel TDP-43 transgenic animal models with expression of different forms of TDP-43. We recently described a thorough behavioral characterization of the transgenic mouse expressing the cytoplasmic form of TDP-43, showing motor, cognitive and social changes that recapitulate those seen in FTD/ALS. I am now pursuing different lines of research integrating multidisciplinary approaches (including behavioral, pharmacological, biochemical and molecular studies). *Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
