SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

The research activity is concentrated on applied plant biology, on pharmaceutical botany and on the study of the secondary metabolism of plant species, extracts and derived products, also through the characterization of the biological activity profile of extracts and derivatives. Attention is focused on the application aspects of plants from the spontaneous and cultivated flora, whose composition is also investigated as a tool for comparative biosystematic, chemotaxonomic and rational in-depth pharmacological use. Innovative application of folk medicinal plants and the valorization of agrifood byproducts as secondary raw materials are also object of research interest.
