Full Professor
University of Calabria, Italy
I am PI of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biotechnologies Unit, University of Calabria and Head of the Institute of Biomembrane, Bioenenergetics and Molecular Biotechnology of the National Research Council (CNR) in Bari, Italy. I am an expert in the field of membrane transporters. I received a PhD in Biochemistry from University of Naples (Italy). Since 1988 I was a researcher in the National Research Council (Mitochondria and Bioenergetics Unit in Bari). In 2000, I moved to the University of Calabria where I am full professor in Biochemistry. My research interests cover several aspects of membrane transporters in nutrition and metabolism in health and diseases with reference to absorption, distribution and excretion of nutrients and drugs. I am also involved in drug-design projects and with my group we created a platform for membrane transporter expression, purification and functional characterization in in vitro/ex vivo systems.
