Sesti obtained his Laurea and Ph.D. in physics from the University of Genoa.[4][5] Following this, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Institut für Biologische Informationsverarbeitung, Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany under Benjamin Kaupp and at Yale University in the USA under Steve Goldstein.[4][5] He joined the faculty of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in 2001.[4]
Sesti has been recognized as a Fulbright Scholar and is a member of various scientific societies.[4][6] Additionally, Sesti serves on the editorial boards of several journals and serves on panels of several international, federal, and private funding agencies.[4]
His research topics include ion channels, potassium channels, aging, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Srctyrosine kinases, C. Elegans, and cell signaling.[7][4][8]
Sesti's laboratory has conducted research on the non-conducting functions of ion channels, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of neuronal aging in vertebrates and invertebrates.[4] Specifically, the lab has studied how excess oxidants affect K+ channels and the role this plays in the decline of neuronal function during aging and in neurodegenerative diseases.[4]
