Research

I’m working at the interface between the two themes and working under the supervision of Pr N. d’Amelio.

Main research topics:

• Design and physicochemical characterization of antimicrobial peptides: NMR study of their interaction with the biomimetic membranes of cancer cells by NMR.
• PhD project: Design and testing of selectivity and haemolytic properties of novel antimicrobial peptides based on sequence alignments (under the supervision of Pr N. d’Amelio).

Skills

Biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology.
