Chiara Chiocci
PhD student
Chiara Chiocci is a Master graduate in Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Perugia in Italy. She carried out her Master’s research in the lab of Prof. Roccaldo Sardella and Prof. Maria Carla Marcotullio. The master’s project focused on the optimization and metabolic profile identification of NaDES-aided extraction of bioactive compounds of Matricaria chamomilla.
Research interests
Chiara’s doctoral project is focused on studying the importance of macrophage ferroptosis in myocardial infarction. In particular her work will focus on three aspects: a high-resolution spatial and temporal molecular mapping of post-myocardial infarction, tracking changes over cell types and populations; the elucidation of ferroptosis regulation in macrophages and finally the evaluation of ferroptosis inhibition in cardiomyocytes and macrophages in acute myocardial infarction.
