Ordinario di Scienze Tecniche e Dietetiche Applicate (MED49), Insegnamento di Alimentazione e Nutrizione Umana. Incluso nella lista redatta dalla Thomson Reuters relativa ai Ricercatori più citati nel periodo 2002-2013 nel campo agricoltura/nutrizione.

Commendatore dell'Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana per meriti scientifici.

 

Missione: Svelare i meccanismi di difesa dell’organismo nei confronti di stress esogeni (ossidativi/infiammatori), identificare ingredienti e alimenti funzionali da utilizzare come sorgente naturale di molecole bio-attive per strategie nutrizionali di prevenzione dello stress metabolico e delle patologie correlate e per la tutela della salute umana. La ricerca si snoda attraverso un percorso sperimentale che va dall’analisi dei principali ingredienti, alla ricerca su modelli cellulari fino allo studio nell’uomo garantendo un approccio multifunzionale e versatile. Sono sviluppati studi d’intervento nutrizionali pre-clinici su soggetti sani caratterizzati da fattori di rischio cardiovascolare (sovrappeso etc), in presenza e non, di fattori stressogeni nutrizionali (stress postprandiale etc). Recentemente è stata avviata una linea di ricerca in eco-nutrizione focalizzata sulla valutazione della sostenibilità di diete ad alto contenuto in alimenti di origine vegetale e alla valutazione dell’impatto dello spreco alimentare su marcatori ambientali/nutrizionali.

Research Mission: Unravelling the mechanism of body’s resistance to dietary-induced stressors and to understand the role of plant foods in modulating antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cell-mediated immune reponse in humans. Research is developed following a path of different experimental models from the cell culture to animals and, to specific dietary intervention trials in humans, in order to plan strategies of dietary intervention for metabolic stress prevention. Assessment of the nutritional sustainability of diet and their impact on human and planet health.

Current Research Objectives:
i) Understanding the biological mechanism (s) of the dietary modulation of body fluids and tissues oxidative stress in humans.
ii) Investigate the role of dietary plant foods in modulating post-prandial inflammatory and lipidic stress in humans
iii) Understanding the bioavailability of phenolic compounds in humans and evaluation of the dietary factors interfering with their absorption.
iv) Development of biomarkers and experimental models for the assessment of redox, and oxidative status in tissues and body fluids.
v) Unraveling the link between sustainable dietary behavior and metabolic health.
