Faculty & Staff Directory
Claudia Cantoni, PhD
Multiple Sclerosis
Claudia Cantoni, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Translational Neuroscience at Barrow Neurological Institute.
Dr. Cantoni is a neuroimmunologist who specializes in the study of autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis. She is a member of the International Society of Neuroimmunology.
Dr. Cantoni earned her doctorate in molecular medicine from the University of Milan in Italy and her master’s degree in genetics and molecular biology from the University of Pravia in Italy. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Neurology at Washington University in St. Louis, which was funded by the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Society and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Dr. Cantoni’s research aims to understand the molecular pathways regarding how environmental factors, such as diet and chronic stress, modulate the innate immune responses in neurological disorders, specifically focusing on multiple sclerosis neuropathology and progression.
