Research Activities
Development of novel methodologies based on Raman and IR spectroscopy for the detection and quantitative determination of substances in biological liquids. Substances of interest: antibodies, alcohols, pharmaceutical active substances. Biological fluids of interest: blood serum, saliva, urine, aqueous humor.
Characterization of polymorphic phases (generic drugs).
Study of bone and cartilage diseases (osteoporosis, osteoarthritis) using spectroscopic and X-ray imaging techniques. Scope: the development of a methodology for the diagnosis and monitoring of pathological situations in no or minimally invasive way.
Study of the chemical changes induced to bones or joints of lab animals by the deficiency of genes. Use of Raman spectroscopy and micro Computed Tomography.
Monitoring of crack healing in animal femurs.
