Federico Iseppon graduated in Neurobiology (MSc) from the University of Pavia in 2012 and holds a Ph.D. in Neurobiology from SISSA – International School of Advanced Studies (2016).
From 2017 to 2024 he worked as a Research Associate in the Molecular Nociception Laboratory at the University College London managing numerous projects about the molecular bases of pain and sensation as well as mechanisms of action of analgesic drugs for the treatment of pain symptoms of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathies (CIPN) in collaboration with AstraZeneca and the development of novel gene and cellular therapy approaches for the treatment of pain.
He is currently working within the Experimental Neurology Unit in the University of Milano-Bicocca on research projects investigating the molecular mechanisms of neurotoxicity of proteasome inhibitor drugs.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
  • Investigation and analysis of physiological and pathological neuronal activity, as well as drug efficacy, using in vitro and in vivo imaging approaches

  • Preclinical evaluation of pain (acute, inflammatory, neuropathic) and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity

  • Preclinical evaluation of the mechanisms of neurotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents

  • Discovery of novel therapeutic approaches for pain treatment
