Eleonora Galosi is an MD Neurologist, currently working at the Clinical Neurophysiology and Neuromuscular Disease Unit at the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.  

During her research career she has developed robust skills in clinical and neurophysiological assessment of patients with peripheral nervous system diseases and neuropathic pain conditions, by evaluating patients with painful polyneuropathies of distinct etiologies, including diabetic, auto-immune, and hereditary neuropathies. She has acquired a deep knowledge of small-fibre functional assessment through diverse neurophysiological tests (e.g., pain related potentials, nerve conduction studies) and quantitative sensory testing. She has a long-standing 10 years expertise in the immunohistochemical processing of human skin samples and morphometric analysis of intraepidermal and dermal innervation. She currently manages the Skin Biopsy Lab of the Department of Human Neuroscience of Sapienza University (Rome), under the leadership of Prof. Andrea Truini. 

During the last few years, she has specifically focused her research activity on diabetic neuropathy, by investigating the relation between neuropathic pain and intrepidermal innervation in patients with diabetes, as assessed by traditional and new emerging sensory markers, with the ultimate goal to find an association between neuropathic pain and psychometric, neurophysiological, and morphometric variables, which could be potentially used as biomarkers and help to clarify pain mechanisms.
