Phd in MOLECULAR DESIGN AND CHARACTERIZATION FOR THE
PROMOTION OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING: FROM DRUG TO FOOD

He had master's degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology in 2017 at "Gabriele d’Annunzio" University of Chieti. During the last year he attempts the Organic Chemistry lab working on experimental thesis in Organic and Physical Chemistry and Physics in Organic Chemistry: "EFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION ON SOME WATER PROPERTIES". His research focused on the interaction of certain electromagnetic frequencies (THz, IR, UV-visible) with water, by investigating such properties as the solvent effect on the kinetic probes, Solvatochromism of suitable dyes, and Brownian motion of nanoparticles. After graduation he worked in Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics (SPaTT Lab), at the CAST (Center for Advanced Studies and Technology), “G. d’Annunzio” University. This research internship allowed him to gain also biological experience working on the discovery of pharmaceutical activity of new NSADs. The study was carried out through different biochemical assays using washed platelets, human whole-blood, and stimulated platelet-rich plasma. Currently, he is a PhD student in the International PhD Program in " Molecular design and characterization for the promotion of health and well-being: from drug to food" 37° Cycle at Food Chemistry Lab of Sapienza University, in Rome. His research is focused on the chemical characterization of foodstuffs and on the metabolic profile investigation of biological fluids through HPLC and NMR methodologies, all this to apply in different fields.
