Federico Sesti is an Italian-born neuroscientist and academic at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School of Rutgers University.[1][2][3]
Biography
Sesti obtained his Laurea and
Sesti has been recognized as a Fulbright Scholar and is a member of various scientific societies.[4][6] Additionally, Sesti serves on the editorial boards of several journals and serves on panels of several international, federal, and private funding agencies.[4]
Research
His research topics include ion channels, potassium channels, aging, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Srctyrosine kinases, C. Elegans, and cell signaling.[7][4][8]
Sesti's laboratory has conducted research on the non-conducting functions of ion channels, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of neuronal aging in vertebrates and invertebrates.[4] Specifically, the lab has studied how excess oxidants affect K+ channels and the role this plays in the decline of neuronal function during aging and in neurodegenerative diseases.[4]
