Biography

I am currently a Lecturer in Pharmacology at the School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health and an Affiliated Researcher at the School of Infection and Immunity, University of Glasgow. My research focuses on the immune response in cardiovascular diseases (CVD), spanning basic and clinical studies. I focus on targeting immune and inflammatory mechanisms underlying CVD, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and heart failure. I have previously worked on projects supported by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the British Heart Foundation (BHF), and the Italian Ministry for Universities and Research (MUR).
