His research has focused on the molecular bases of neurometabolic disease, in particular mitochondrial disorders. His group is currently elucidating the genetics of the CoQ biosynthetic pathway in humans and the molecular bases of CoQ deficiency and of cytochrome c oxidase defeciency.

He has co-authored over 150 articles published in international peer reviewed journals with a total IF over 1100 and Hindex= 50 (Scopus).
He has been awarded grants from both national and international institutions for a total of over € 3 M.

Area di ricerca

The laboratory is currently pursuing three main research lines aimed at understanding the molecular bases, pathophysiology, and therapeutic possibilities for genetic diseases with a particular focus on neurometabolic and neuromuscular disorders. To these purposes, we are developing a set of model organisms (yeast, C.elegans, and now also zebrafish) plus other systems which employ the CRISPR-CAS9 technology

Our main fields of research include

Mitochondrial disorders with particular focus on coenzyme Q deficiency.

Urea-cycle disorders

Genomic disorders
