Scaffold’s preparation based on functionalized alginate for tissutal rigeneration. Using electron microscopical techniques (SEM) is analyzed the hydrogel morphology and porosity, with thermogravimetric characterization and analysis by FTIR their decomposition is followed and with other methodologies the mechanical and swelling properties are determined, to  relate the above-mentioned properties to the results of different types of cellular seedings. I’ve also dealed in the morphological studies (SEM, TEM) of tissues from oncological biopsies and of cellular organels  involved in Hodgkin lymphoma spreading, with relative image analysis by ImageJ software. Since 2018 I have dealt with spectroscopic and morphological studies of proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer. I partecipate in dissemination activity of research in different events (Science Festival, school seminars etc.).

-In 2000 Master Degree in Chemistry at University of Genova. -In 2000 she has begun to work at CNR-ISMAC in biopolymer’s group on mophological and spectroscopical studies of nuclear matrices, DNA and proteins. – In 2006 PhD in Chemical Sciences at University of Genova  with  CNR-ISMAC fellowship. – In 2009 Research contract holder on “Molecular organization of protein-nucleic acids systems and biomimetic hybrid structures nanoparticles-nuclear acids-polymers” – From 2013 researcher at CNR-ISMAC and from 2019 she continues her research activity at CNR-SCITEC
