Nutraceuticals and foods of interestResearch is focused, at the molecular level on different aspects of food from chemo-prevention to diet-related diseases. His expertise is on epigenomics, gene expression control, the role of chromatin modifiers in affecting the transcriptional activity. Scientific interests covers the valorisation of food and food products by studying the bio-accessibility, bio-transformation, and gut transport. His research activity addressed the signature of microRNAs in obesity and metabolic diseases. grains, ancient grains, tritordeum, food matrix, food extracts Fields of application Valorisation of food, food products, food matrix and extracts, pure molecules, by studying the bio-accessibility, bio-transformation, and gut transport using models of simulated digestion and human intestinal cells. Differential signature of microRNAs in health and disease in vivo. Facilities and equipments Molecular and cell biology laboratory; PCR; RT-PCR; NGS sequencing; FACS; qPCR-Arrays; cloning; transfection |
