Main interests

• NMR metabolomics of biological systems (biofluids and fecal samples, tissues, 2D/3D cell cultures) related to disease, therapeutics or toxicological stresses, for identification of novel biomarkers with possible clinical use in human health management. Main diseases of interest: prenatal/newborn diseases (including rare metabolic diseases and autism), cancer (lung, renal, osteosarcoma, pancreatic), children’s early carie, asthma, age-related macular degeneration. Validation of metabolomic hypotheses through correlation studies of different omics data (metabolomics/proteomices/transcriptomics) and Big Data strategies.
• Metabolomics testing of new and conventional i) drugs, ii) materials and iii) environmental contaminants (or exposomes), for assessment of their in vitro and in vivo biological performance (bioefficacy/biocompatibility/biotoxicity), to develop new protocols of exposure (drugs, materials) or mitigation (contaminants). Translation to marine life and the human organism.
• Metabolomics characterisation of stem cell differentiation to find biomarkers able to monitor and guide lineage development and regeneration of engineered tissues. Translation of differentiation biomarkers from 2D to 3D cultures, and from in vitro to in vivo clinical applications (through tissue and biofluid analysis).
• Metabolomics for the i) quality control of food products and processes, ii) development of new food products (mainly plant-based), and iii) nutritional studies (biofluids and gut microflora) to assess the effect of new diets on human health.

Other interests

• Solid-state NMR to study structure/function relationships in foods (cereal proteins and polysaccharide gels) and in cork and other lignocellulosic materials.
• Rheological-NMR (rheo-NMR) of polymers: molecular origins of polymer rheological properties.
