Research Interests
Phenolic compounds are a family of secondary metabolites with numerous bioactive properties that make them attractive for the “red biotechnology”, to be used as antioxidants or to protect human health, through their employment as nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals. I currently study synthesis, modulation and features of polyphenols from marine microalgae, with the aim to obtain increased yield of antioxidant compounds in massive cultures. To this aim, I use HPLC and bioinformatic tools.
