My research projects over the past 23 years have crossed numerous subjects, disciplines, and methodologies. Yet, I have continuously strived to integrate my clinical curiosity and experimental knowledge to deepen my understanding of clinically relevant research questions. Having a clinical background with basic science training, I have always been interested in how science can directly improve people’s everyday lives, by employing bench-to-bedside or bedside-to-bench multidisciplinary approaches. Since embarking on a scientific career, I have published >100 papers, reviews, book chapters, and patents.

Thanks to the support of multiple funding agencies, I have dedicated a significant part of my research interests toward highlighting the crucial role of the cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) in modulating the function of cells, organs, and inter-tissue communication during metabolic disorders.
