Researcher Activities

 

Research activity of Livia Malorni is mainly focused on development of new proteomic based methodologies for the comprehension of complex biological processes.

Her principal scientific interest is focused on cancer biology in response to environmental stimuli (chemical pollutants or substances naturally present in foods) with particular regard to estrogen responsive breast cancer and melanoma.

She has also experienced significantly in biomolecular mass spectrometry for the study of molecular interaction and supra-molecolar complexes.

In the last few years, she started to focus her interest in secreted proteins (secretome) -applying this experience also to the study of follicular fluids obtained from woman undergoing in vitro fertilization technique – and in volatile metabolome, in order to evaluate its potential in the diagnosing and treatment of different diseases.

Now, she’s working out, in collaboration with a team of engineers, to evaluate the biological effect of nanoparticles derived from controlled combustion or nanoparticles chemically modified to enhance or hide their biological activity.
