Camilla Bean

Camilla Bean is a Tenure-Track Researcher in Biochemistry. She earned her PhD in Genetics and Molecular Developmental Biology at the University of Padua and has conducted research at leading institutions, including the Universities of Milan and Udine and the Veneto Institute of Molecular Medicine (VIMM).

The main focus of her research is understanding how mitochondria regulate cellular signaling pathways and influence biological processes in both health and disease. Using a multi-omics approach that integrates transcriptomics, metabolomics, fluxomics, and functional studies, she investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying neuromuscular disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and movement disorders like dystonia, as well as metabolic diseases including diabetes and obesity. Her work has shed light on how mitochondria control adipose tissue remodeling and muscle plasticity, providing new insights into the molecular basis of metabolic and neuromuscular conditions.

Camilla is actively involved in the scientific community, serving on international editorial boards, and collaborates with leading research groups worldwide on mitochondrial functional plasticity and the mechanisms of neuromuscular diseases.
