Main Research Areas:

1) Innovation and Valorisation

– Development and validation of in vitro cell models for Pharmacological and ADME-Tox studies: everted gut sac of rat, organ slices (lung, intestine, liver), subcellular fractions (microsomes, S9), primary cultures (hepatocytes), Human cell line (Caco-2, APC1, HepG2, HepaRG, new cell line HepG2 derived (INPI 488678)), 2D and 3D cell models and co-culture

– Development and validation of analytical techniques (HPLC, Cytometry)  and development of tests by flux Cytometry to ADME-Tox and Pharmacological studies

2) Research

Investigation of underlying mechanisms of drug resistance and evaluation of new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and associated cancer (from in vitro cell models to clinical studies)

– Pharmacokinetic and Preclinical Toxicology studies: Modulation of CYP450s, ABC & SLC membrane transporters to Optimize PK profile of active substances and to study Drug Drug and Drug Food Interactions

– Resistance mechanisms studies: inadequate penetration of the drug into cells, alteration in the drug metabolism, DNA repair, down regulation of pro-apoptotic signalling pathways, hypoxia of tumour microenvironment è Supervision of several PhD
