Researcher Activities
Functional and differential proteomics to investigate:
- Molecular mechanisms underlying probiotic and biotechnological features of foodborne bacteria
- Resistance mechanisms to pathogenic infection in tomato roots and thermal stress mechanisms in tomato anthers
- Molecular aspects of different human diseases
- Development and application of molecular profiling strategies based on MALDI-TOF-mass spectrometry to identify and discriminate foodborne bacteria, for food authentication and fraud detection of trade products
- Structural characterization of food proteins by means of mono and bidimensional electrophoresis (1/2-DE) and tandem mass spectrometry coupled with nano-liquid chromatography (nanoHPLC-ESI/MS/MS)
- Structural studies of native gliadin peptides and gliadin peptides modified by a transamidation reaction catalyzed by a microbial transglutaminase by 1/2-DE and nanoHPLC-ESI/MS/MS to clarify the molecular basis of Coeliac Disease and design enzymatic strategies to detox flour
