I have a background in molecular biology tools for the design and expression of recombinant proteins with different functionalities for biomedical, nanotechnological and cosmetic applications. My formation includes experience with the interaction of cells with protein-based materials. I also have the know-how on materials characterization.
My current research interests are 1) Development of protein-based formulations for hair cosmetic products; 2) Hair as an analytical tool for the control of therapies and food supplementation; 3) in vitro culture of cells and screening of molecules bioactivity; 4) valorization of natural resources and 5) enzymatic biotechnology
