Researcher Activities
Research activity has been carried out in the field of Mass Spectrometry Methodologies. Main research lines concern 1) Structural analysis of the oligosaccharide and polysaccharides by Post-source Decay (PSD) MALDI-TOF, 2) Structural study of synthetic polymers by PSD MALDI-TOF, 3) Analysis of proteins mixtures and proteomic studies by advanced mass spectrometry techniques (PSD MALDI-TOF, ESI-MS).
Recently, research interest of Dr. Rosaria Cozzolino is focused on Food chemistry: Chemistry of volatile compounds – development of methodologies, aroma properties, and biological effects. Development of methodologies for extraction and analysis of volatile compounds and several secondary bioactive metabolites from different food or food-related matrices (HS SPME; GC-MS, E-Nose, LC-MS)
In clinical analysis, the interest is focused on the validation of analytical approaches that may provide the biochemical basis to study pathologies or can be implemented as a diagnostic tool based on biological fluids (e.g, urine) as non-invasive sampling strategies. Volatomics and urinomics studies related to autism, obesity, non-communicable diseases.
