Analysis of novel foods and circular economy Study the upcycling by products in insects Analysis of the influence insect derived components in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases
The research group works in the following fields: development of epigenetic and non-epigenetic modulators for the treatment of hematologic tumors. design and synthesis of inhibitors targeting enzymes of the endocannabinoid system for the development of therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases and epilepsy treatment. synthesis of new pharmacological tools for the treatment of rare diseases. Design and synthesis of enzymatic inhibitors or receptor modulators for the development of new infectious agents. Green chemistry methods for the development of new neurodegeneration modulators.
Our research activity adopts a ONE HEALTH approach while applying post genomics (proteomics, metabolomics), cell biology, biochemistry, computational biochemistry and AI in Life Sciences, sustainable pharmaceuticals and circular bioeconomy.
The research group focuses on the study of molecular interactions in complex systems and matrices through the combined use of various analysis techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance ( spectroscopy, capable of monitoring all components present in a sample in a single experiment.
The research group focuses on: - Spectroscopic and spectrophotometric analyses. Use of EPR spectroscopy for traceability, quality, and safety determination in agri food supply chains. use of fishery and agricultural by products for the production of innovative materials. synthesis and characterization of melanin like polymeric materials. methods for enzyme immobilization on nanosystems for industrial applications. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis of processes and products
Research interests of the group focus on the study of insects, and soil fauna in general, of naturalistic as well as agricultural interest. Methodologies employed are taxonomy, molecular evolution, evolutionary genetics, population genetics, metagenomics, genomics, bioinformatics.
The group works in the following research line: self-incompatibility to improve crops and agricultural production. environmental stresses to study the effects of environmental stresses on plants. genetic traceabiliy and food safety to identify and verify the origin and quality of food products through molecular biology techniques
