Speaker

I hold a Chair in Restorative Neuroscience at Imperial College and an honorary post within the NHS as a consultant in Neurology. Previously, since 2006, I worked at the University of Tuebingen, Germany as a Research Group Leader, where I was also a consultant clinician in Stroke and General Neurology. I did my post-doctoral training in Neuroscience studying gene expression regulation after spinal cord injury at Georgetown University, Washington DC, 2001-2004 where I became research Instructor (2004-2006). I studied Medicine at La Sapienza University and did my Neurology training at Catholic University, Rome, Italy. 
My team investigates how environmental factors including dietary regimens and physical activity affect metabolism and immunity that in turn can influence physiology and repair in the sensorimotor system with the goal to optimize sensorimotor function and stimulate repair. Our work has increasingly been focusing on inter-organ communication in this context with broad implications for conditions spanning from aging, traumatic, vascular, inflammatory, degenerative and metabolic damage to central and peripheral nervous system
