Women in BioCop - Biographies
Organisation: Universit� di Roma Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy.
Country: Rome, Italy
Masters Degree in Chemistry from the University of Rome ''Tor Vergata'' and PhD student at the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory of the University’s Chemical Department.
Researcher in the activity carried out in Project “FISR 1999” for the development of electro-optical chemical sensors for pesticides detection and in a project in collaboration with an Italian Company for the development of nerve agents biosensors. Also involved in the study of new sensors for thiol amperometric detection and in European Leonardo project for “Training Module for Pesticide Detection”.
During these years good experience has been gained in Electrochemical sensors, Mediators, Electrochemical Biosensors, Screen Printed Electrodes (how to use, fabricate and modify them), use of different electrode materials (glassy carbon, graphite, nanotubes, graphite inks, platinum etc.), real application in the field of clinical and environmental analytical chemistry, pesticide and thiols detection.
Role in the BioCop Project: Involved in the study of electrochemical method for heavy metals detection.
