Research Area

- Isolation of genes encoding some growth factors belonging to the IgF (I and II) family and to the IgF-binding proteins in two species of marine teleost fish, Sparus aurata and Umbrina cirrosa, and to study their gene expression in different tissues through the production of specific RNA probes for in situ hybridization reactions on sections of frozen or paraffin-embedded tissues. She has also extended the study of expression through histochemical and immunohistochemical techniques on paraffin-embedded samples

- Study of gene expression of different myosin heavy chain isoforms (slow, 2A, 2B, 2X, alpha-cardiac, neonatal, embryonic, and extraocular) in different muscles with different composition in fiber types in mammalian of particular veterinary interest, such as pig, cattle and dog, and in humans, through molecular techniques, from total RNA extraction (PCR, in situ hybridization), immunochemistry and qualitative PCR (RT-PCR) and quantitative techniques (RealTime PCR)

- Study of the qualitative and quantitative expression of myogenic MRFs growth factors, among which MyoD, Myf5 MRF4, MSTN, Pax7, CD34, in fetuses and during the postnatal development phases, in the pig. Cellular localization of these factors mediating in situ hybridization and preparation of primary cell cultures from muscle tissue

- Study of the congenital pseudomyotonia of the Chianina breed of cattle as an experimental model for the study of the pathogenesis of Brody's human disease. The mutation in the ATP2A1 gene encoding the SERCA1 protein has been indicated as the cause of the disease
