ELZBIETA JANDA
Assistant Professor and Lecturer in Pharmacology at the School of Medicine and Surgery, UMG, Catanzaro, Italy
Elzbieta Janda graduated in Molecular Biology, at Jagiellonian University (Cracow, Poland) and subsequently obtained her PhD in Biochemistry at the prestigious Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna, Austria in 2002. During her postdoctoral fellowships (2002 -2008) at the Magna Graecia University of Catanzaro, Italy (UMG) collaborated with Imperial Cancer Research Foundation (London, UK) and consolidated her experience in the field of signal transduction. Since 2008 she is Assistant Professor and Lecturer in Pharmacology at the School of Medicine and Surgery, UMG, Catanzaro, Italy, currently with habilitation for Associate professorship. She is an expert in molecular pharmacology of bergamot flavonoids and autophagy. E. Janda was the first to show a potent therapeutic effect of Bergamot Polyphenol Fraction (BPF) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and anti-inflammatory effects of BPF on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Her work demonstrated the ability of BPF to promote autophagy in livers by stimulating AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK) and inhibiting Quinone Oxidoreductase 2 (NQO2). E. Janda and co-workers were able to identify the active components of BPF that modulate autophagy and show the superiority of bergamot phyto-complex over pure flavonoids. She is the leading author of eight top-quality scientific papers on pharmacological and molecular effects of bergamot polyphenols, besides several other publications addressing the role of autophagy and phagocytosis and their pharmacological modulation in Parkinson’s disease.
