Topic: mitochondrial biology

Establish an independent research programme on the cellular and molecular biology of aging in humans or model systems. Relevant topics include senescence, protein homeostasis, metabolism, mitochondrial biology, genome stability, epigenetic regulation, stem cells and the neurobiology of aging. The appointment includes teaching, mentoring, collaborative research and university service. Priority review is 15 November 2026.

Francesca and Ilaria discuss taste-receptor research, mitochondrial biology and a reported ALS case study involving an antisense oligonucleotide treatment. Giuliana Galati interviews University of Padua physicist Francesco Recchia about nuclear phenomenology. The episode links these discussions to the underlying research papers and distinguishes a clinical case report from established treatment evidence.
