Researcher Activities

 

My recent research has been focused on the mechanisms of tolerance to food antigens and on the development of microbiological and enzymatic strategies to down-regulate the intestinal hypersensitivity to wheat gluten. I am also involved in basic and applied research on probiotics. My best finding is the possibility of carrying out an enzymatic treatment on wheat flour/semolina to detoxify the gluten for people affected by Coeliac Disease. The methodology developed is the subject of an international patent application that was granted in EU, Canada and USA.
