Research Interests
My research interests have been very broad, from cell differentiation and cell division in cyanobacteria and alphaproteobacteria, to biomolecular condensates formation across different domains of life. I have investigated protein interactions and dynamics, specializing in protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions. My work integrates advanced microscopy, genetics, protein biochemistry, biophysical methods and synthetic biology to uncover new insights into cellular processes and their biotechnological applications.
As an independent researcher, my current scientific focus is to deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing biomolecular condensates and to explore their potential uses in biotechnology, specifically for cyanobacteria, as enzymatic immobilization systems and in bioremediation.
