Activities

Actually my scientific interest is focused on the characterization of molecular mechanism involved in the regulation of the immune system. In particular I am studying the involvement of Protein Kinase A PKA /cAMP during vitro differentiation and function of conventional T cells (CD4⁺CD25^–) defined as Tconv versus inducible (iTreg) (CD4⁺CD25⁺) through induction of Foxp3 gene, after TCR stimulation.
