Dr. Corrada Geraci graduated in Chemistry in 1979 at the University of Catania, Sicily. Since 1988, she has been a Researcher at the CNR Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry and since 2002, she has been a First Researcher carrying out research and management tasks and assisting in the activity of numerous students and doctoral students. In the course of her scientific activity, she has gained many experiences in the pharmacological, microbiological, environmental and synthetic fields. A part of her research activity focuses on the chemistry of natural compounds and on supramolecular chemistry, with particular regard to the synthesis of multivalent and multifunctional systems based on calixarene macrocycles with bioorganic and biomedical applications. She is also active in the nutraceutical field, which deals with the study and characterization of complex natural matrices and the use of nanotechnologies for the protection of food ingredients with a high health value, to create "novel food". She has been responsible for numerous scientific projects in the agri-food sector, both regional and national. Dr. Geraci is the author of 1 patent and 80 publications in national and international journals, including reviews and chapters in multi-author books, performs reviewer activities for international journals and has prepared numerous technical/scientific reports for logistics and scientific research projects in the agri-food sector.
