Daniela Guidone is a postdoctoral researcher in Luis J.V. Galietta’s laboratory at the Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine (TIGEM) in Pozzuoli, Italy.

She earned her degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Naples “Federico II” in 2017 and subsequently worked at TIGEM, first as a research fellow and then as a PhD student. She completed her PhD at the European School of Molecular Medicine (SEMM) and attended numerous conferences in Italy and abroad during her doctoral studies.

She has published 14 scientific articles, including a first-author publication in November 2022, funded by the Italian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (FFC#9/2022), titled “Airway surface hyperviscosity and defective mucociliary transport by IL-17/TNF-α are corrected by β-adrenergic stimulus” in JCI Insight.

Her primary research focuses on how human bronchial epithelia respond to inflammatory stimuli to combat bacterial infections and how these processes are impaired in cystic fibrosis.
