Passionate about contributing to excellence in surgical practices and post-operative procedures while delivering best in class patient care and treatment.Dr. Antonella Borreca is molecular biologist with PhD in neuroscience and actually she got a Post Doc Fellowship 2019 from Fondazione Umberto Veronesi at Humanitas University.
Actually Dr Borreca is focused on Alzheimer disease and molecular mechanism regulating the neuroinflammation in the pathology.
Her recent research, at CNR-IBCN in Rome was focused on the molecular mechanism of APP expression in normal and pathological condition in AD mice model (Tg2576).
In particular, she analyzed the role of RNA Binding Protein (RBPs) in the APP metabolism and their regulation in APP expression, since APP is found overexpressed in AD patient with Swedish mutation (Johnston et al., 1994) but also in sporadic cases (Vignini et al., 2014; Borreca et al., 2015).
Regarding this, she observed an unbalance of two specific RBPs in the AD mice model and synaptosomes of AD sporadic patient: hnRNP C and FMRP (Borreca et al., 2015).
Other project, in which she is involved in, are described below:
- The role of the protein synthesis machinery in the Alzheimer disease. In particular I analyze the protein synthesis in the early phase of the pathology and the distribution of APP mRNA on polysome fractionation. I also deeply analyze the role of the some protein synthesis molecule in the Alzheimer pathology (Borreca et al., under review).
- The role of N-Ter Tau fragment in the pathology of Alzheimer disease (Corsetti et al., 2015). In particular we identify the toxic effect of this fragment in two different WT mice background (C57Bl/6 and B6SJL) analyzing the behavioural deficit (Novel object recognition), the synaptic deficit (Immunofluorescence and analysis of co-localization of pre and post synaptic marker, electrophisiology) and the alteration of molecular pathway (Collaboration with Prof. Callissano and Prof. Amadoro G) (Borreca et al., 2018).
- The role of the autophagy in the early phase of the Alzheimer disease and the involvement of the main molecule of the autophagy in the Alzheimer disease (Collaboration with Professor Cecconi)
- Another project is related to another neurodegenerative disease, Fragile X syndrome. The fragile X syndrome is a mental retardation disease due to the absence of FMRP protein. FMRP, an RNA binding protein, act locally at synapses as negative regulator of mRNA expression. Its absence cause an alteration of synaptic plasticity and the increase of spine density which appear thinner and longer. Our aim is to identify the synaptic plasticity induced by behaviour and see the effect of behavioural stimulation on the spine density and morphology.
- Actually she is also involved in the project related to neuroinflammation and the possible influence of microglia and astocytes in neurodegeneration.
Her expertise is essentially in molecular biology but recently she also improved her background with behavioural (tone and contextual fear conditioning, object recognition, Morris Water Maze, sociability, marble burying, open field) and morphological studies (analysis of spine density and morphology with Golgi Staining and he use of Thy-GFP mice).
During this period she also improve her professional career with Master in Pharmaceutical Marketing and management with thesis:”FluA: Businnes with flu”. This master give me the opportunity to connect my expertise with pharmaceutical aspect but my strong passion for research leads me to continue in the this field, improve my condition and learn always new things.
Recently she also received two award to participate to important meeting in the field of Neuroscience (Neuroscience meeting in Chicago 2015 and Fens regional meeting 2015 in Thessaloniki) and she got a FRAXA research grant in 2018
Academic experience at University of Rome Tor Vergata and at CNR leads her the opportunity to be a tutor for master thesis student. From there her capability to have a strong orientation on goals. In addition to my academic achievements she have developed strong leadership and communication skills.
She is a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail. She is flexible, quick to pick up new skills and eager to learn from others. She also has lots of ideas and enthusiasm.
She enthusiastically looks forward to putting her knowledge and experience into practice in the work. She could offer a strong interest in research, an enthusiastic approach, and a proven willingness to accept challenges and responsibility.

His overriding goal is to develop a career as a Professor-Scientist. Toward that end he has done clinical rotation and continue to maintain his skills through clinical activities. He has learned to use a genetic approach for the identification of mutations. Analysis of the DNA from patients will help us to refine the locus for disease and ultimately identify the genetic mutation causing the disease. He believes that a genetic approach for the identification of proteins operant in the pathogenesis of disease is very powerful. In addition, an important compliment to this approach is the ability to employ the principles and methods of molecular biology to begin to answer questions about the function of these proteins in health and disease. He plans to use these principles and methods using the proteins that he has helped to identify through the use of genetic techniques.His primary research interests continue to be in the development of practical/statistical sound methodology to address the challenges in such scenarios, with special emphasis on medical analysis, data mining and the genetics.
Second Goal
He also has a long-term goal of understanding the degenerative effects of neurological and other disorders with a view to facilitating improved patient care and therapy. Consequently, He has been involved in the research based on stem cells. There are many ways in which stem cells, Embryonic stem cell can be used in research and the clinic. Predictably controlling cell proliferation and differentiation requires additional basic and advanced research on the molecular and genetic signals that regulate cell division and specialization. While recent developments with iPS cells suggest some of the specific factors that may be involved, techniques must be devised to introduce these factors safely into the cells and control the processes that are induced by these factors. He is interested in developing methodology for comprehensively assessing the entire sequence of frames. In the long run, the goal is to be able to identify cracks bigger than a certain size automatically, while also to evaluate the growth trajectory of smaller cracks from one inspection to the other.Tropical Neurology and Infectious Neurological Diseases; Intensive Care in Neurology; Neurology and Autoimmune Diseases.Psychology and Family Medicine.Primary Care, Clinical Medicine, Ageing Diseases, Cardiovascular Disease, Clinical Immunology and Knowledge Discovery in Datasets.Neuropsychiatry, Adult Neurology, Pediatric Neurology, Vascular Neurology.Stigma and Cross-Cultural StudiesHis areas of specialisation are traumatic stress, cross cultural clinical psychology/psychiatry, and the assessment of clinical syndromes using the MMPI-2 and MCMI-IV.Cognitive Diseases, Global Regulation, Regeneration.Expert in quantitative and qualitative outcome measurement projects on health for nursing, dentists and general medicine, through the use of the Rasch and other logistic models, structural equations, multilevel analysis and special models linked to validity and scales.Counseling, Behavioral Psychology, System Modelling, Cross Cultural Psychology, Mental Health, Relationships.Neurosurgery and Microsurgery.Brain Computer Interface, Big Data.Neurology, Epilepsy, EEG.Phoniatrics; Dysphagia; Rehabilitation; Neurology & NeurosurgeryMotivation, Educational Psychology, Educational Neuroscience, Experiential Learning, Student-Teacher Relationship, Science Education, Positive and Health Psychology.Psychology, Systemic Psychology, Sport Psychology, Social Psychology.Proteases: cystein proteases (cathepsins) in immumunology (antigen
