Arianna has graduated with honors in Biological Sciences in 1998 and obtained the PhD in Neurosciences in novel experimental approaches on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2004. After several post-doctoral fellowships, she has a strong experience in molecular and cellular biology using genetically cells and mice modeling human diseases. In particular, her main research interests is related to neurobiology field, focusing on molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer and non-cancer diseases. She’s currently a permanent position as researcher at ENEA Casaccia in Rome, Italy, Division of Technologies and Methods for Health Protection. Her main activities includes (1) effects of low-dose ionizing radiation on neurogenesis and microenvironment modifications on the brain hippocampus in in vivo models; (2) neuroinflammation and DNA repair in transgenic mice models; (3) study of oncogenes expression in cancer and neuronal cells models
