UNIVERSITY STUDIES
Graduated with full marks and honours at the University of Parma in Biological Sciences
PhD in Biology and Molecular Pathology at the University of Parma
Post-doctorate in Biochemistry at the Dept. of Experimental Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Parma
Researcher at the Dept. of Experimental Medicine, Section of Chemistry and Structural Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Parma.
RESEARCH ACTIVITY
A) Conformational and funtional studies of the recombinant Major Urinary Protein (rMUP):
mutants expression and purification to study the molecular features of the specific binding capability;
functional investigations of mutant binding proteins by means of fluorescencent probes.
B) Study of the allergenic properties of rMUP protein:
realization of a monospecific ELISA essay indicated for monitonitoring the presence of mouse urinary proteins, powerful allergens for sensitized subjects; rMUP mutants conformational analysis by means of optical spectroscopy measurements with the aim of the determination of conformational epitopes.
C) Small toxins recombinant expression:
heterologous expression of the phytotoxic protein PcF from the pathogen Phytophthora cactorum in order to produce isotope 15N-enriched sample for NMR structure determination; recombinant expression, purification and characterization of a scorpion toxin active on Kv1.3 ionic channel.
D) Application of proteomics techniques and computational biology instruments, with the aim of combining functional information with structural data.
