Dr. Floriana Cappiello has been a Post-Doctoral fellow since 2018 at Sapienza University of Rome. She completed her Master’s degree in Cell Biology in 2014 and her Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 2017, both from Sapienza University of Rome. Her current research focuses on natural bioactive compounds and their derivatives, such as antimicrobial peptides and peptide-loaded nanoparticles. Specifically, she is interested in examining the potential cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects of these compounds in mammalian cell models. Her research aims to develop new therapeutic agents that can promote wound healing, skin regeneration and improve the pathology of cystic fibrosis.
