Martina Gabrielli

Martina Gabrielli is currently a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent University (UK) and recipient of a BBSRC Fellowship (UKRI) for future leaders in research, to study the molecular basis of cognitive decline in brain ageing. After a BSc and MSc in Medical Biotechnology and a PhD in Pharmacological Sciences at the University of Milan, she worked for many years in Dr Claudia Verderio’s laboratory at the CNR Institute of Neuroscience (Italy), where she explored the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by glial cells in brain health and disease with a particular focus on their effects on neuronal function and inflammation. She was awarded a FISM fellowship and a Veronesi Foundation Travel Grant Fellowship to spend a brief period at Columbia University in New York (USA). She is a member of the PREMSTEM research team.
