Summary
I am an analytical chemist, expert in small molecule profiling and quantification, mass spectrometry and multidimensional chromatography. My current research is focused on environmental chemicals and human health, with special interest in microplastics, emerging contaminants and endocrine disrupting chemicals.
I have extensively developed and applied metabolomic and volatolomic approaches for cancer diagnosis and the investigation of the link between gut microbiome metabolites and the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic and neurodevelopmental diseases. During my studies, my main research activities were focused on the exposure assessment of endocrine disrupting and neurotoxic chemicals in pregnant women and their children.
