Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology. PhD in Chemistry and Food Safety. CNR researcher since 2009. Research topic: design and development of new generation optical and electrochemical biosensors, such as analytical tools with low environmental impact for the detection of chemical and microbiological pollutants. Expertise in the development of immobilization techniques of microorganisms, subcellular organelles, proteins, enzymes and antibodies on screen-printed sensors. Experience in the management of applied research projects aimed at designing tools to preserve and monitor water resources, also for technology transfer purposes from research to industry.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
