Danieli Fernanda Buccini, Ph.D. is a Professor and Postdoctoral Researcher in Biotechnology at the Universidade Católica Dom Bosco (UCDB), Brazil. She holds a Ph.D. in Biotechnology and Biodiversity from the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) and an M.Sc. in Biotechnology from UCDB. Her research focuses on biotechnology, immunology, and pharmacology, especially on the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of antimicrobial and bioactive peptides. She investigates their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antimicrobial properties, emphasizing immune response, infection control, and tissue repair. Dr. Buccini works with predictive preclinical models of intestinal inflammation, wound healing, and lung injury, aiming to understand mechanisms of action and safety while promoting the ethical reduction of animal use. She is part of the R&D team at Peptidus Biotech, which develops peptide-based therapeutics for animal health. She is a co-author of the article “Antimicrobial peptides: structure, functions and translational applications” (Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2025), reflecting her commitment to translational science, experimental rigor, and responsible innovation in biotechnology.
