Author Information
Serena Carra is affiliated with the Department of Biomedical, Metabolic and Neural Sciences, and the Centre for Neuroscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, located at via G. Campi 287, 41125, Modena, Italy. Her research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, with an emphasis on molecular chaperones, protein degradation, and RNA-binding proteins.Research Contributions
Serena Carra has made significant contributions to the field of neurodegenerative diseases and molecular chaperones. Her research encompasses a variety of topics, including targeted protein degradation, the role of heat shock proteins (HSPs) like HSP70 and HSPB8, and the regulation of autophagy. Notable works include the study of RNA molecular signatures in sporadic ALS patients and the investigation of the impact of nonstop mRNA protein products on nucleolar homeostasis. Her work on HspB8 and its role in preventing aberrant phase transitions of FUS is particularly noteworthy, as it adds valuable insights into the mechanisms of protein misfolding and aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases.Aliases
Serena Carra is also known by several aliases, including S. Carrà, S Carrà, S. Carrá, S. Carră, and S Carra. These variations are often used interchangeably in her publications.Publication and Citation Metrics
