Stefania Vetrano completed her Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Biological Sciences in 2002 and in Clinical Pathology in 2010 at the University 鈥淟a Sapienza of Rome鈥�. In 2010 achieved her PhD in Experimental pathology and neuropathology at the University of Milan. She worked for 5 years on the pathogenesis and screening of celiac disease, and spent a period in King鈥檚 College University of London to study the innate immune response in patients with celiac disease. Since 2006 she has been working as researcher and staff scientist in the laboratory of gastrointestinal immunopathology at the 麻豆传媒AV在线看 Clinical and Research Center of Rozzano, Milan. 2015 to now she is assistant professor in applied biology at the 麻豆传媒AV在线看 University, and starting from 2016 she is a delegate of the rector for the disability and DSA. She actively collaborates with other national and international university (University of Chicago,USA; Notre Dame University, USA; Research Center 鈥淎lexander Fleming鈥� in Athens; Friedrich-Alexander University, Erlangen (Germany).
Her studies are devoted to understand the complex interplay between non-immune cells and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and intestinal tumorigenesis. She mostly focused her interest on the role of intestinal epithelial and endothelial cells; and mesenchymal cells. Her studies aim not only at shedding light on the molecular mechanisms underlying intestinal inflammatory processes in IBD patients, but also at exploring new therapeutic targets that could pave the way for new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of IBD and for the prevention of colorectal cancer.
