Biography

Project: The role of the G-protein coupled receptor 88 (Gpr88) in Parkinson’s disease Her research focus on characterizing the role of Gpr88 in the motor dysfunctions typical of Parkinson’s disease as well as induced by the lead pharmacological treatment, the L-DOPA (L-Dopa- induced dyskinesia). Using the gene transfer strategy to knock-down locally Gpr88 in the medium spiny neurons of the striatum, Manuela and her collaborators investigate the behavioral and the molecular components modulate by Gpr88 in rodent models of the disease.
