From the beginning, Rinaldi and Fontani have directed their studies on the Epigenetics effects, ie on changes induced in our body by many environmental factors, such as our lifestyles, nutrition, substances with which we come into contact, type of work, chronic stress.
The epigenetic modifications are the basis of many diseases as they can determine both their onset and their clinical course.
Since there are no real treatments to counteract the negative effects of epigenetic modifications, Rinaldi and Fontani concentrated their studies on the analysis of disorders and diseases of epigenetic origin, trying to identify a therapeutic strategy that was safe, effective and scientifically validated.
