His research interests in the field of industrial biotechnology and biocatalysis are focused on the isolation of microbial strains producers of lipases/esterases useful to obtain and modify high value bioactive molecules by enzymatic means. Other research interests: • High throughput screening methods for lipases/esterases • Use of agro-wastes for the production of lipases/esterases using Solid State Fermentation • Purification, characterization and use of lipases/esterases in organic synthesis
