Her research interest is focused on the synthesis of stable helical peptides of the naturally-occurring family of the peptaibols and their application in the field of biocompatible materials. In 2019 she developed peptide-based biomolecular devices in collaboration with Prof. Emanuela Gatto of the University of Tor Vergata and was recognized as a 'Young Researcher who distinguished herself in one of the various fields of science, technology or art' by the Italian Republic President Sergio Mattarella at the traditional reception for the Republic Day (June 1st, 2019). In 2020 she developed the peptide-based plant protection technology that won the first prize at the Intellectual Property Award 2021 - Agrotech sector (Expo2021 Dubai). She coauthored more than 100 publications in peer-review journals and four EU patents.
On Wednesday, 28th of May she will deliver a lecture entitled "Photocurrent generation in a supramolecular DNA-inspired peptide nanowire"
Location: Room 25, Aule Margherita Hack (Blocco aule), Campus Sesto (Sesto Fiorentino)
Time: 10:30 am
