**About the Editor**

#### **Daniela Bonofiglio**

Daniela Bonofiglio, MD endocrinologist, is currently a Full Professor of Biotechnology and Methods in Laboratory Medicine at the Department of Pharmacy, Health and Nutritional Sciences, University of Calabria, Italy. Her scientific interests are devoted to dissecting the molecular mechanisms involved in the initiation and progression of endocrine-related cancers with the main goal of identifying novel markers and potential therapeutic targets for these diseases. Her achievements contributed to advancing scientific knowledge on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) biology, focusing on the inhibiting role of natural and synthetic ligands of PPARγ in cancer growth and progression. In the context of the natural products field, her research activity has also been focused on the beneficial role of different food compounds on human health. Specifically, in the last two decades, she has investigated the iodine status of young and adult populations living in sufficient and deficient iodine areas and the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean diet on the biochemical and inflammatory parameters in adolescents and adults from Southern Italy. She is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and 6 book chapters related to the subjects of endocrinology, metabolism, and cancer.
