Baptista Ruiz Andrea Carolina

RESEARCH FELLOW publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Dr. Andrea Baptista obtained her degree in Chemistry from the Universidad de los Andes in Mérida, Venezuela, where she completed her thesis at the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC). She later earned a Ph.D. from the National University of Córdoba in Argentina, focusing on the study of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of biogenic and anthropogenic origin in urban air, such as aldehydes and terpenes. Her research also encompassed the kinetics and degradation processes of VOCs, during which…

Semenzato Giulia

RESEARCH FELLOW giuliasemenzato(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in Molecular and Applied Biology in 2021 and subsequently pursued a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology at the University of Florence. During my Ph.D., I investigated the role of bacterial endophytes in medicinal plant-microbes interactions, focusing particularly on the production of secondary metabolites with antibacterial activity. Specifically, I performed a phenotypic and molecular characterization of endophytic bacteria isolated from plants of the genus Origanum. My research activities included studying the structure and composition of…

Grieco Maddalena

RESEARCH FELLOW maddalenagrieco(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Throughout my career, I have focused on advanced biochemical and nutraceutical approaches, investigating the biological impact of both natural compounds and environmental pollutants on human health. During my PhD, I examined the endocannabinoid system in Alzheimer’s disease, specifically identifying the role of anandamide (AEA) in microglial polarization and its potential in mitigating cellular toxicity. In collaboration with Prof. Marcel Leist at the University of Konstanz (Germany), I studied neuroglial interactions that support neuronal resilience against proteotoxic stress,…

Naliwajski Marcin Robert

RESEARCH FELLOW marcinrobertnaliwajski(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My main research activity is focused on studying the mechanism of plant acclimation to salt stress in cucumber (in vitro and in vivo studies) – changes in primary carbon and nitrogen metabolism, as well as in the pro- and antioxidant system. Additionally, I am also interested in the role of nanoparticles in: response of plants to abiotic stress in cytologycal, physiological, biochemical levels as well as production of secondary metabolites, especially in Taxus x media and Rindera…
