Science communication specialist

Hi, this is Margherita. I write about and illustrate science for scientists but also for the general public. 7 years in academic research gave me an excellent preparation for scientific writing, ranging from articles to grants, to reports, and a solid training in science illustrations, being it power point presentations or posters. I have always been truly passionate about science communication, I especially enjoy translating complicated concepts in easy words. Enough about me. What can do for you? I can help you writing: - Research articles - Grant proposals - Scientific reports I can also help you designing: - Power point presentation - Posters - Book covers (like PhD thesis) Last but not least, I can help you to make your science appealing to a broad audience with easy-to-read figures and catchy layouts. I am very proficient with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I can do all of this in English, Italian and Spanish. Cheers :-)

Experience

Post Doctoral Researcher

VU medical center Amsterdam
Jul 2015 - Jul 2017 (2 years)
In my group we investigated the unfolded protein response (UPR) a mechanism that maintains protein homeostasis in the cells thereby preventing the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. UPR activation is a common feature of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, and it correlates with the early stages of the pathology. Therefore the URP is a promising target to develop drug against neurodegenerative disease.

Munc13 controls the location and efficiency of dense-core vesicle release in neurons

Journal of Cell Biology
Neuronal dense-core vesicles (DCVs) contain diverse cargo crucial for brain development and function, but the mechanisms that control their release are largely unknown. We quantified activity-dependent DCV release in hippocampal neurons at single vesicle resolution. Munc13-1/2 facilitate DCV fusion but, unlike for synaptic vesicles, are not essential for DCV release, and M13OE is sufficient to produce efficient DCV release extrasynaptically.

CAPS-1 promotes fusion competence of stationary dense-core vesicles in presynaptic terminals

eLife
Neuropeptides released from dense-core vesicles (DCVs) modulate neuronal activity.We studied the role of calcium-activator protein for secretion (CAPS) proteins in neuronal DCV secretion at single vesicle resolution. DCV secretion was reduced by 70% in CAPS-1/CAPS-2 double null mutant (DKO) neurons and remaining fusion events required prolonged stimulation. These data indicate that CAPS-1 promotes fusion competence of immobile (tethered) DCVs.
