The laboratory’s research activities are focused on peptide sciences and technologies applied to the field of life science. In particular, the research interests are:
-Biologically active peptides and their derivatives
-Peptides as reactive probes for diagnostic assays
-Self-assembling peptides for new (bio)materials
-Peptides for microarray assays
