About this speaker
I began working with people with Rett Syndrome at San Paolo Hospital in Milan in 2005, and soon after that in 2006 I had the opportunity to visit the Rett Clinic directed by Dr Budden in Portland, Oregon, USA.
Since then, Rett Syndrome has become one of my main research interests. I have contributed to further characterizing the neurophysiological features of this syndrome (e.g. stereotypies, response to antiepileptic drugs, neurophysiological and cognitive characteristics). Working in a multidisciplinary team, I coordinated a panel of consultants in Italy, and developed recommendations for the diagnosis and management of Rett Syndrome at all ages (published online at: www.malattierare.marionegri.it). I have also been involved in the development and implementation of the Rett Network Database (https://www.rettdatabasenetwork.org), as a local Coordinator.
My other areas of research are childhood complex epilepsies, especially their therapeutic issues, and genetic and rare disorders with neurological involvement.
My noteworthy expertise in rare disorders and epilepsy is recognized also by my social activity on newspapers and websites, and by collaborations with patients’ organizations.
