Graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the
University of Milan in 1973.
She has been Assistant Professor (1974-1978) and then Senior Assistant Professor (1978-1981) of
Histology (Microscopic anatomy) at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
of the University of Milan.
From 1981 to 2002 she has been Associate
Professor of Histology, and then of Vertebrate Zoology.
From 2002 to present she is Full Professor of Veterinary Anatomy at the same
Faculty.
She is the Head of the Department of Veterinary Sciences and Technologies for Food Safety (2007/2010)
In addition, Professor Domeneghini is teacher of Veterinary
Anatomy in several graduate courses and post-graduate schools, and in the post-graduate school of "Veterinary Sciences for Animal Health and Food Safety" at the University of Milan
She is author or
coauthor of around 220 publications, chapters in books and abstracts.
Her scientific activity concerns primarily the study of the gut
neuroendocrine system in vertebrates, with special emphasis to
mammals and fish.
The alimentary canal of these vertebrates is
analyzed also with the aim of describing possible morpho-functional
consequences of various dietary supplementations.
In addition, she studies the morphofunctional aspects of reproductive organs in
different mammalian species, with emphasis to the peptidergic
innervation and glycoconjugate secretions.
Glycoconjugate secretions
are also studied in the alimentary canal of fish.
Techniques are used in her scientific activity, which primarily concerns histological,
histochemical and immunohistochemical techniques, sometimes
accompanied by quantitative evaluations (histometry).
