Biography
Prof. Fiordelisio is a leading biologist, widely recognized for outstanding contributions to knowledge in Neuroendocrinology, with a strong commitment to scientific innovation with social application. She has specialized in the cells of the neuroendocrine system and their target organs, which has studied from comparative and clinical perspectives with a translational scope. Given that endocrine-metabolic diseases are a public health emergency, her work has aimed to understand the causes, consequences, possible treatments and innovations to address them. Her work has been published in high-impact journals, some can be considered as true paradigm disruptors in Endocrinology. The current COVID-19 epidemiological crisis led her to develop innovative biosensors of molecules for diagnostic of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, and also for antibody detection. This biosensor is designed to be accessible to vulnerable populations due to their multifunctional design, low cost and easy handling, and with the aim of influencing future personalized therapies.
