Maria Pia Abbracchio is an Italian pharmacologist and neuroscientist known for her significant contributions to the field of pharmacology. She is particularly recognized for her research on purinergic signalling, a type of cell signalling that involves purine nucleotides and nucleosides.
Early Life and Education[edit]
Abbracchio was born in Milan, Italy. She completed her undergraduate studies in Pharmacy at the University of Milan, where she also earned her PhD in Pharmacology.
Career[edit]
Following her PhD, Abbracchio continued her research at the University of Milan, focusing on the pharmacology of purinergic receptors. Her work has significantly contributed to the understanding of the role of these receptors in health and disease.
In addition to her research, Abbracchio has held several academic positions. She has served as a professor of pharmacology at the University of Milan and has been a visiting professor at several international institutions.
Research[edit]
Abbracchio's research primarily focuses on purinergic signalling, a type of cell signalling that involves purine nucleotides and nucleosides. Her work has led to the identification of several new P2Y receptor subtypes and has provided insights into their roles in various physiological and pathological conditions.
Abbracchio's research has also explored the therapeutic potential of targeting purinergic signalling pathways in various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
Awards and Honors[edit]
Abbracchio has received numerous awards and honors for her contributions to pharmacology. These include the British Pharmacological Society's Gaddum Memorial Award and the Italian Society of Pharmacology's Ettore Majorana Prize.
