Dr. Maria Condello graduated “cum laude” in Biological Science, and she received a Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology, Pharmacognosy and Toxicology at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. She works as a researcher at the National Centre for Drug Research and Evaluation, Istituto Superiore di Sanità in Rome, where she is studying new anticancer therapy on in vitro models based on the use of natural products administered free or delivered by liposomes, and on electrochemotherapy. She carries out citofluorimetric analysis to understand cell death mechanisms after treatment with new anticancer agents, and morphological, ultrastructural, and biochemical assays investigating cell modifications, oxidative stress, and cell death evaluation. She studies the antitumor effects of compounds extracted from Prunus spinosa, a typical plant of Molise. In the field of nanotechnology, she evaluates the toxicity induced by ZnO nanoparticles on tumor cells, and she contributes to the understanding of nanoparticle uptake mechanisms in colon cancer cells and their interaction with the cell plasma membrane. She is an author of 47 national and international publications. She has participated in national and international conferences and workshops, with 65 communications. She is a member of the Italian Society of Cellular Cultures, the Italian Society for Cytometry and the Italian Society for Microscopical Sciences, and she has received numerous awards and honors.
