Biophotonics and Advanced Microscopies
My research activity is focused on Optics and Spectroscopy/Imaging, with particular interest in the study of complex biological systems and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the biomedical field, both on a cellular and molecular scale.
Currently, I am working on the study of internalization of organic nanoparticles for the transport of drugs in cancer cells, by Raman spectroscopy, Raman Imaging and confocal fluorescence microscopy; moreover, I am working on real-time detection of cancer bio-markers and recognition of normal or pathological cells / tissues at high resolution, by Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) technology and its integration on optical fiber, for the diagnosis of breast cancer and thyroid cancer.
