Massimo Addesse

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology and my master’s degree in Applied Biotechnology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. During my master’s thesis, I investigated the impact of altered alternative splicing of hnRNPA2B1 in FUS-linked amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Following this, I completed a one-year research fellowship exploring neuroimmune responses and neurostimulation through the use of barium titanate piezoelectric nanoparticles, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), and elastomeric microbubbles. I am currently pursuing my PhD, where my research focuses on FOXG1, a master regulatory gene of brain development, investigating how gene dosage alterations affect the proteome, transcriptome, and electrophysiological properties.
