Background

About Roberta Gualdani

Translational scientist, with a unique combination of skills ranging from molecular analysis, ion channel biophysics, cellular electrophysiology, and pharmacology.I'm the recipient of the 2021 Belgian Pain Society Award, the 2021 EFIC Grünenthal Grant from the European Pain Federation, the 2019 Prix Léon et Henri Fredericq pour la Physiologie et Biophysique from the Académie Royale de Belgique.Specific research areas I have focused on include the biophysical and pharmacological study of ion channels as therapeutic targets, with a special focus in the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) family of channels. To this end, I combine the most advanced state-of-the-art techniques for ion channel research, including electrophysiology, fluorescence spectroscopy, biochemistry, molecular biology. I have also a wide experience in ion channel drug discovery and in the development of genetically modified mouse models for in vivo experiments. Specialties: Neuroscience, Neurophysiology, Biophysics, In vivo, In vitro, Drug discovery.
