Giuseppe ValacchiDr. Valacchi has been interested in evaluating the effect of exogenous and endogenous sources of oxidative stress on target organs, such as skin, GI tract and lung, and the signal pathways involved in the cellular responses to these insults with specal focus on epithelial wound healing. In addition, he aims to study how new topical approaches (derived from natural and synthetic compounds) can ameliorate wound healing and tissue regeneration in both physiological and pathological situations. In the last 10 years he has also been pursuing research involved in understanding the role of oxidative stress in a rare disease, Rett Syndrome, defined as a neurodevelopment pathology, and in the aging processes and how dietary intervention can improve the clinical feature.
