Sara Mariotto

Her research areas include neuroimmunology, neurodegenerative disorders,

neuroinfectivology, and neuropathology. Her principal field of interest is the

study of autoimmune/paraneoplastic encephalitis and encephalomyelitis.

During her fellowship at the Clinical Department of Neurology, Medical

University of Innsbruck (March-October 2017) she studied antibody-

mediated disorders of the CNS under the supervision of Prof. Markus Reindl,

learning anti-MOG antibodies detection/IgG subclass analysis with cell based

assay, peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolation and the detection of cytokines in serum

and CSF with ELISA. She also spent a period (October 2017) at the Institute of Neurology,

Medical University of Vienna learning new techniques for the diagnosis of autoimmune

encephalitis, under the supervision of Prof. Romana Höftberger

Tiziana Cotrufo

Visiting Professor. Her research interests mainly include the study of

guidance receptors and SNARE proteins in neurodevelopment,

neuroregeneration and neurodegenerative diseases. A recent line of research

is the involvement of SNARE proteins in migration of cancer cells.
