Biografia:
Victoria Barygina obtained her Master degree in Physiology with a focus on cell biology and histology in 2007 at Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov (MSU). In 2010 she started a PhD program at the University of Florence. Her research here focused on the redox biology of psoriasis and vitiligo and was conducted on primary skin cells and complex multi-cellular models. She continued these studies as a postdoctoral researcher until 2020. In 2020, Victoria obtained a Inter-University Master degree in Psychobiology of Alimentary Disorders from the University Tor Vergata and Biomedical Campus in Rome, Italy. Subsequently, she began working as a psychobiologist at the Institute of Neurosciences in Florence, where she developed nutrition schemes for patients with psychiatric disorders, including autism in adults and children, depression, schizophrenia, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Since 2022, Victoria has been a part of Francesco Saverio Pavone’s group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy in Florence, as a project manager and project developer in the field of Health. She also contributes her expertise as a psychobiologist to the development of innovative non-invasive biosensors for real-time psychological state estimation using the multimodal fiber-probe spectroscopy device developed in the laboratory of Prof. Pavone. Victoria has an important scientific background with more than 30 published articles in peer reviewed scientific journals, she co-edited three medical books on redox biology and dermatology (10 H-index according to Scopus). Victoria has enriched her expertise through visiting scientist positions in two prominent laboratories in Germany. Her experience in the realm of health extends beyond laboratory research, as she has also engaged in one-on-one patient consultations as a health specialist.
Abrastct
The human skin is a complex organ responsive to physiological and psychological states. The usefulness of skin metabolites as a source of biomarkers was demonstrated for dermatologic, systemic diseases, and psychiatric conditions (major depressive disorder, schizophrenia).
It was shown that psychological stress-induced skin reactions can include changes in cytokine secretion acute/chronic secretion of corticosteroids and changes in volatile components3 in the skin. In the current study, we aim to individuate stress-related skin response with a high-throughput multimodal combination of optical techniques.
