PhD in Ecology, she is Associate Professor of Ecology since 2003 at the Sapienza University of Rome. Since 2001 she has held University courses and currently two basic courses - Ecology and Applied Ecology - for the three-year course on Biological Sciences and the applied Ecology module of the fundamental course on Experimental and Applied Ecology of the Master's Degree in Ecobiology. In addition to the institutional educational activities, she deals with the study of the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of biodiversity and the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in contexts of climate change and various types of pollution. In particular, research is focused on interspecific relationships based on trophic even through the application of biochemical methods (stable isotopes and high resolution chromatographic analysis). She has participated and coordinated research projects funded by the European Community, Italian Ministries, Local Authorities and the University of Rome. Since 2010 she has been coordinator of long-term projects on the study of Antarctic marine trophic networks and climate change (PNRA). She has produced numerous articles published in international first quartile journals with IF. She is President of the Master's Degree Program in Ecobiology.
