Biography

Dr. Alessio's academic journey has centered on understanding the complex mechanisms of cellular aging, with a particular focus on senescence and SASP. His research explores how natural compounds might influence these processes, potentially offering new therapeutic approaches for age-related diseases. His work with MUSE cells—endogenous stem cells with exceptional regenerative properties and stress resistance—provides valuable insights into cellular resilience and repair mechanisms, especially in aging contexts. By investigating the interaction between MUSE cells and senescent environments, Dr. Alessio aims to develop innovative strategies to combat age-associated decline and chronic degenerative conditions.
