Medicine - Immunology and Allergology
Autonomic nervous system study
- Noninvasive systems of autonomic nervous system study applied to different diseases with participation in clinical trials.
- Evaluation of cardiovascular autonomic control for diagnosis and follow-up of patients with various diseases such as syncope and primary and secondary dysautonomias and for cardiovascular risk profiling in patients with chronic diseases.
- Application of non-invasive neuromodulation techniques of the autonomic nervous system for the treatment of dysautonomia, inflammation, and depressive symptoms in different cohorts of patients.
Systemic autoimmune diseases
- Development of predictive models for identifying patients at risk for complications related to the underlying disease.
- Single-center and multicenter clinical trials to identify risk factors, progression and response to therapy of systemic autoimmune diseases.
- Translational studies, particularly "Omics" analyses including gene expression, proteomics, microbiomics and metabolomics of systemic autoimmune diseases to identify risk factors, progression and response to therapy.
- Cellular models of immune-mediated diseases.
- Participation in national and international clinical trials
Syncope
- Risk stratification of patients with syncope in the emergency room
- Diagnostic yield of different methods for the study of patients with syncope
- Insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms related to syncope
Allergies
- Identification of new allergens and association between pollen allergy and Oral Allergy Syndrome, the main manifestation of food allergy in adults.
- Study of etiopathogenetic mechanisms and new therapies of chronic urticaria (the Center contributes to the drafting of Italian guidelines), allergic asthma, and drug allergy.
- Clinical, epidemiology and therapy of hymenoptera venom allergy (the Center contributes to the drafting of Italian guidelines and participates in international multicenter studies).
Other research programs
Clinical methodology: critical analysis of the scientific literature, diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic meta-analysis and in-depth study of the tools used in the diagnostic pathway and to establish prognosis.
