| Francesca Ratti is a 2nd year PhD student and she is working on skeletal
muscle atrophy. Her project has as its main objective to investigate the
role of the hystone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in atrophy. After her Master
2 thesis on cancerology at Università degli Studi in Milan (Italy),
she spent 3 years working as a visiting scientist in the US at the Wistar
Institute in Philly and then at University of Miami, where she studied
the role of Notch in tumorigenesis. Now she is interested in dissecting
the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy, in order to indetify
valuable targets for therapeutic treatments. |
