Research Interest and expertise in the field of nutraceuticals
and functional food
Keywords: Terpene, molecular mechanism, essential oils, skeletal disease, osteoporosis
Nutraceuticals and foods of interestResearch focus on bioactive compound identification and characterization of their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Use of techniques ranging from biochemistry to molecular/cellular biology (e.g. gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, toxicity assays). The close collaboration with Cristina Sobacchi’s group (IRGB, Milan) allows to study the molecular mechanisms underlying nutraceutical compounds in vitro and in vivo with particular attention to skeletal diseases such as osteoporosis Aromatic plants and essential oils Fields of application Food supplements, disease prevention, pharmacology, skeletal and osteoporosis pathologies Facilities and equipments An Agilent 7820 Gas Chromatograph system equipped with a 5977E MSD with EI ionization is present in Marco Michelozzi’s lab (IBBR-CNR, Florence) |
