Research Overview
Riccardi lab: Molecular mechanisms of nutrient sensing
The ability to maintain the right ionic content of cells and their capacity to sense and respond to changes in the environment is vital to life. We are interested in the stimuli serving as signaling molecules (particularly nutrients and gases) and in the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the adaptation process in physiology and disease. Specifically, our research interests are:
1. Molecular physiology of the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor, CaR
2. Identification of biomarkers of nephrotoxicity
3. Molecular physiology of gas sensing (in collaboration with Prof PJ Kemp)
