Research focused on the biochemical and molecular characterization of drug resistance and virulence mechanisms in bacterial human pathogens affecting Cystic Fibrosis patients and patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Desease. @Department of Biosciences: • Scientific and financial management of Molecular Microbiology research projects • Biomolecular characterization and data analysis of unknown drug resistance and virulence mechanisms in bacterial human pathogens. • Characterization of one essential protein, currently investigated for the design of vaccines and next-generation drugs • Team tasks supervision and coordination of extra-institutional contracting. • Projects results presented at lectures during international congresses and published in international journals • Ph.D. and M.Sc. thesis advisor for nine graduating students. Teaching Assistant for three biology classes and lab courses. • My main research project focuses on small RNAs of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the discovery of new potential targets for Cystic Fibrosis treatment. I have identified new small RNAs in two P. aeruginosa strains and I am currently investigating their regulatory effects in infection, and their regulated targets, for the design of next-generation and anti-virulence drugs.

Constructed new recombinant bacterial strains producing organic molecules of interest through biocatalytic processes. • Project results published on 3 international peer-reviewed scientific journals • Obtained sponsorship ("Sovvenzione Globale INGENIO") by the regional government for the completion of the graduate-level “Course for the management and valorization of the results of academic and industrial research” • My Ph.D. thesis research activity was on the construction of engineered microbial strains for the production of oxygenated molecules through biocatalytic processes. In particular, I isolated and cloned new genes from bacteria of the Pseudomonas genus and constructed new Escherichia coli and P. putida recombinant strains for the synthesis of organic molecules of pharmaceutical interest.
