Biography

Elisa Duregotti graduated in Medical Biology from the University of Padova, Italy, and obtained her PhD in Biosciences and Biotechnologies in 2015. She specializes in studying the regeneration mechanisms of damaged neuromuscular junctions. In 2017, she relocated to London to join the Cardiovascular Proteomics group led by Professor Manuel Mayr at King's College London. Her research focuses on the role of sympathetic innervation in models of cardiovascular metabolic diseases. The Vascular Proteomics group employs a combination of proteomics and -omics technologies, including metabolomics, lipidomics, and microRNA profiling, to integrate biological information and construct disease-specific networks that drive pathophysiological changes. Her significant work includes a study published on November 28, 2022, where researchers at King's College identified a new potential molecular mechanism related to obesity, particularly the neuronal growth regulator 1 (Negr1), a factor that promotes neuronal growth and protects against excessive fat accumulation.
