She graduated with a master's degree in Chemistry and received a PhD in Chemical Sciences from Sapienza University of Rome. She deepened interdisciplinary aspects related to drug delivery through a second-level Master's Degree in "Methodologies for research and development of new therapies" of the II Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of Sapienza University. Her scientific interests concern the study of polymolecular aggregates, such as micelles and liposomes, investigated as bio-membrane models and as drug delivery systems. She is expert in the design, preparation, and physico-chemical characterization of liposomes for the delivery of drugs, natural compounds, and genetic material for the development of new antibacterial and anticancer therapies.
