Currently, Aron Emmi serves as Assistant Professor of Human Anatomy at the Institute of Human Anatomy, Department of Neuroscience of the University of Padova, where he has previously obtained his degree and doctoral degree (PhD) and completed his post-graduate training in neuropathology and clinical neuroanatomy. He have also undergone post-doctoral training in forensic neuropathology.
His research activity focuses on the discovery and validation of central and peripheral neuropathological biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson’s Disease. Other research interests include clinical neuroanatomy of the human brainstem, nervous control of respiratory centers, infectious and inflammatory pathology of the brain and its relationship with neurodegeneration.
In the last 5 years Aron Emmi has published 50+ peer-reviewed articles in international journals in the field of neuroscience, neuropathology and human anatomy and presented his research activity as a speaker at over 60 national and international conferences. He serves as ad-hoc reviewer for several high-impact scientific journals (Nature NPJ Parkinson’s Disease, Movement Disorders, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, Neurobiology of Disease). He have co-authored 4 academic textbooks for students and specialists on neuroanatomy and microscopic anatomy.
Aron Emmi is a member of several national and international scientific organizations, including the Royal College of Pathologists, the European Confederation of Neuropathological Societies, and the italian group for neuromorphology.
