The activity aims to obtain structural models with atomic or quasi-atomic resolution of proteins of medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological interest by applying crystallographic methodologies and techniques, and to simulate their...
We study dynamic disorder, playing a fundamental role in functionality of complex matter, by applying physical statistics to big data set collected by high spatiotemporal resolution probes. Complex matter can...
The activities deal with the quantitative analysis of biological processes and bio/molecular interactions useful for the development of bio/sensors for monitoring environmental pollutants and food quality and safety. Concomitantly, instrumentation...
Synthesis (solid state, room temperature) of calcium phosphates such as apatite Ca5(PO4)3(F, Cl, OH) o tricalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)3 and their structural characterization through techniques of X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy such...
Geomaterials such as phosphates, silicates, borates, are carefully investigated through crystal-chemical characterization based on XRD, FTIR, Raman and SEM-EDS microscopy. The obtained results make up the basis for the development...
The alteration of proteostasis, i.e the control of the proteome integrity, is the basis of many diseases (eg cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes). The research activity is aimed at the...
The aim is to support a paradigm shift which recognizes the need to address health issues from a holistic point of view, e.g. considering the nexus between soil health and...
Due to the population aging, social assistance and health system have to respond with an integrated approach, aimed to maintain, or regain where it has been lost, the maximum autonomy...
The IC researchers collaborated in the development, qualification and clinical use of new customized and / or adaptable immobilization devices realized in polymeric material.
The research activity is focused on molecular mechanisms involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression with particular attention to the role of Amyloid-beta (Aβ) in both physiological/pre-clinical conditions and AD pathology.
