Alessia Indrieri
Researcher
Area of interest:
Dr. Alessia Indrieri is a Tenured CNR Researcher, and a Principal Investigator at the Telethon Institute of Genetics Medicine (TIGEM), Pozzuoli, Italy.
She graduated in Biological Science, University of Naples “Federico II” in 2005, and received her PhD in Molecular Medicine from the European School of Molecular Medicine (SEMM) in 2011. During post-doctoral fellow at the TIGEM, she focuses her research interest on the study and therapy of Mitochondrial Disorders and of Mitochondrial-associated neurodegenerations. Moreover, she acquired a strong expertise in the biology of non-coding RNA and in their application in disease therapy. In 2019 she became a tenured scientist at the Institute of Genetic and Biomedical Research (IRGB), and recently started her independent laboratory at the TIGEM in the Molecular Therapy Program.
The main interest of her laboratory is to develop and validate new therapeutic strategies to treat mitochondrial-associated neurodegeneration in a mutation-independent manner.
In particular, strategies aimed to increase mitochondrial turnover will be applied in models of rare diseases such as mitochondrial Optic Neuropathies, as well as in model of common disorders such as Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy and Parkinson’s Disease.
