Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer working in the field of Nutrition and Health. I gained my degree in Biological Sciences and my PhD in Nutritional Pathology at the University of Cagliari, Italy. I afterwards spent 3 years at the University of Cagliari and 5 years at the University of Reading, at the Food and Nutritional Sciences Department, as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate. I joined the Life Science Department at the University of Roehampton in September 2014.

PhD in Nutrition's Pathology, (University of Cagliari, Italy)
BSc / MSc in Biological Sciences (University of Cagliari, Italy)
Research interests
My research expertise is in the area of dietary polyphenols and their importance for healthy ageing and chronic disease prevention, and ranges from the clinical setting to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of action, also focusing on understanding their metabolism and bioavailability, and its implications for establishing the mechanisms by which they exert numerous beneficial health effects in vivo. In particular, my research interest is on polyphenols impact on the vascular system, in the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract.
