Cinzia Antognelli is an associate professor of applied
biology at the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Perugia
(Italy). She was awarded the National Scientific Qualification (ASN) as a full
professor in Applied Biology in 2016 and 2023. Since the beginning, her
research activity has been centered on the biological role of glyoxalases and
associated dicarbonyl stress, especially in the oncology field (prostate,
breast, lung, and thyroid cancer development and progression), focusing on
apoptosis, ER-mediated stress, EMT, angiogenesis, immune surveillance, and bone
metastases control. She is also interested in the study of glyoxalases and
dicarbonyl stress in the mechanisms of cancer chemo/radio-resistance,
preferentially in vitro human cell models. Sixty-seven articles in
international peer-reviewed journals and more than thirty congress abstracts
(also as invited speaker) document her research activity. She was a Guest
Editor of the Chemico-Biological Interactions Special Issue: “Cholinesterases:
past, present and future” in 2004. She co-chaired the “VIII International
Meeting on Cholinesterases” (Perugia) in 2004 and the meeting of the “Italian
Association of Biology and Molecular and General Genetics (AIBG)”, in 2001 and
2012. She is a member of the “Italian Association of Biology and Molecular and
General Genetics (AIBG) and the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine"
(SFRBM).
