Federica Accornero

Federica Accornero studies how chemical modifications to RNA molecules affect heart muscle function, stress responses, and disease processes such as heart failure and cardiac atrophy (muscle wasting). Her work connects molecular biology techniques for detecting RNA modifications with questions about cardiovascular health, including inflammation and viral infection of the heart. This research aims to understand how cells regulate protein production and stress adaptation at the RNA level, particularly in cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue.

Publication output rose from 2017 through a peak around 2019-2022, then has moderated to a steadier lower rate of about 5 papers per year in recent years.
