Biography:

Arianna Mazzoli is an Associate Professor in Physiology at the University of Naples Federico II, Department of Biology. Her research focuses on the regulation of energy balance and the metabolic adaptations of the whole organism and individual tissues in response to dietary and environmental stimuli. In particular, she investigates the mechanisms underlying obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome using animal models, with emphasis on mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and systemic metabolism. Her work also explores the interplay between nutrition, microbiota, and physiological adaptation, contributing to the understanding of metabolic resilience in both pathological and extreme conditions.
