Research activity, initially dedicated to studies on drug metabolism and the evaluation of the potential of mass spectrometry techniques in the analytical/bioanalytical/toxicological field, has then focused on the following topics: a) Bioanalytical methodologies for the in vitro and in vivo study of oxidative processes induced by free radicals; b) Peptidomics and proteomics in mass spectrometry: study of detoxification processes of cytotoxic aldehydes by peptides, characterization of covalently modified proteins and ligand-protein interactions. The scientific activity has resulted in the publication of 179 experimental papers (169 in peer-reviewed international journals and 10 contributions in volumes), 5 patents and over 250 communications/posters at national and international conferences.
