Overview

Sabina Berretta is affiliated with McLean Hospital in the United States. Their research spans multiple areas within the life sciences, with significant contributions in biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, neuroscience, and medicine. They have focused particularly on molecular biology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, neurology, physiology, and genetics as key subfields of their work.

Their research topics cover various aspects of neuroscience and neurobiology, including neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, dementia and cognitive impairment research, tryptophan and brain disorders, and bioinformatics and genomic networks.

Sabina Berretta's publication record features papers in high-impact journals and frequent venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Biological Psychiatry, Science, Alzheimer's & Dementia, and Nature. Some of their recent notable publications include:

  • Tau PTM Profiles Identify Patient Heterogeneity and Stages of Alzheimer's Disease (2020, Cell)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder: clinical and translational neuroscience from cells to circuits (2022, Nature Reviews Neurology)
  • Innovations present in the primate interneuron repertoire (2020, Nature)
  • A concerted neuron-astrocyte program declines in ageing and schizophrenia (2024, Nature)
  • Single-cell multi-cohort dissection of the schizophrenia transcriptome (2024, Science)

Collaboration is a significant component of Berretta's work, with frequent co-authors including Torsten Klengel, Steven A. McCarroll, Melissa Goldman, Jonathan Vogelgsang, and Vahram Haroutunian. These recurrent partnerships indicate ongoing research projects in fields related to neuroscience and psychiatry.
