Biography
Dr Tsiani’s research focus is to investigate the biological effects and the mechanism of action of plant-derived polyphenols. She has expertise in muscle metabolism, insulin resistance, cell signaling pathways and cancer biology. Both in vitro cell culture models as well as in vivo, animal models are used in her research studies. Normal cellular function is maintained by a complex system of signaling molecules (signaling cascades) that coordinate cell response to various stimuli. Defects in cellular signaling can lead to diseases such as diabetes (insulin resistance) and cancer. Understanding cell signaling is of major importance and provides the basis for defining novel tools for targeting signaling molecules and pathways involved in diseases. Dr Tsiani’s research has indicate strong antidiabetic and anticancer properties of plant polyphenols
