Besides studying osteological remains, she specialises in the anatomo-clinical analysis of ancient texts and artworks in order to identify the historical presentation and evolution of diseases throughout history. She is also specialises in the field of anatomical education.

The group is dedicated to the following research activities:

1) Construction of mathematical models based on partial and ordinary differential equations linked to the description of phenomena arising in different applied fields, in particular ecology and engineering;

2) Extension of nonlocal elasticity theories based on stress-driven spatial convolutions;

The research activities of the Biological Sciences group focus on the following main areas.

1) Identification of new molecules targeting enzymes involved in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.

2) Central and local control of reproduction in mammalian and non-mammalian vertebrates by cannabinoids, environmental pollutants and endocrine disruptors.

Promoting research applied to the environment and the exploitation of resources, aiming to increase the well-being and sustainability of our society in the context of a changing world.
