BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Annamaria Cattaneo is the Head of the Laboratory of Biological Psychiatry, at the IRCCS Fatebenefratelli Institute; she is also Assistant Professor at the University of Milan, Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences and assistant Researcher at the King’s College London, Institute of Psychiatry.
Her main interest is devoted to the understanding of the mechanisms linking adversities early in life (both prenatally and postnatally) with an enhanced vulnerability to develop mental disorders later in life, with a particular focus on neuroplasticity, inflammation, and stress response. She is also particularly interested in the identification of peripheral biomarkers associated with the risk to develop mental disorders as well as with treatment response. Recently she has also focused the attention on the gut microbiome as link between the environment, the immune system and brain functionality.
She is coordinating several national and international projects including those aimed at the identification of early predictors of risk for the development of mood disorders and biomarkers of treatment response (RLINK H2020 project, RF-2018-12365308), and projects aimed at the identification of central and peripheral mechanisms modulated by stress early in life and associated with the onset of mood disorders in adolescence or in adulthood (EarlyCause H2020, IDEA-FLAME projects).
She has more than 100 publications in PubMed, leading to SCOPUS H-Index=41, and more than 5100 citations.
