Alberto Ferri has contributed to the field of pre-clinical ALS research for more than 20 years. In 1994 he started a project on ALS-linked SOD1 mutant proteins and developed an original cell model to study the neurodegenerative processes caused by the variants of the enzyme. Since that time, he focused largely on the molecular mechanism and the pathophysiology of the disease, and published about 60 papers on that subject in high-rank international peer reviewed journals, including some reviews and commentaries.
As early as in 1997, he proposed the original concept that mutant SOD1 may exert its toxic activity through mitochondrial damage in neurons, leading to oxidative stress and mis-handling of intracellular calcium. This idea paved the way to a novel point of view on the mechanism of the disease.
In 2003 Alberto Ferri has been one of the pioneers in the demonstration that ALS is not purely a motor neuron disease but rather a multi-factorial and multi-system disease since cell types other than motor neurons contribute to establishing the pathological phenotype. This concept is now widely accepted by the scientific community and has changed our perspective to therapy in so far as no single drug can be effective in the interception of the vicious cross-talk between motor neurons and other cell types; thus, a multi-drug strategy must be envisaged.
Simone Grasso was born in Rome, Italy. He obtained a master's degree in "Medical biotechnology" in 2009, at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, and in 2013 a PhD in "Technological and biochemical sciences applied to food and nutrition", at theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma. Since 2013 he has been working in the sensor systems sector, using his skills in the development of biosensors, in the chemical functionalization of electrodes and in the development of software interfaces. His research interests include the design and testing of innovative electronic devices as well as the development of analytical approaches exploitable both in the biomedical field and in the food industry.
Carries out research atUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma from 2018.
He is a teaching tutor for the Master's Degree Course in Food Sciences and Human Nutrition.
