STAFF

Dr. Angelo Palmigiano

EDUCATION:

• He graduated in chemistry at the University of Catania with a specialization in Chemical physics of materials, presenting an experimental thesis on the growth of self-assembled mono- and multilayers on semiconductor oxide surfaces, using Secondary Ions Mass Spectrometry (SIMS-MS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) as characterization techniques.

CURRENT POSITION:

• Researcher at National Research Council (CNR)/ Institute for Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials (IPCB)/ Italy

PREVIOUS POSITION:

• he won a scholarship offered by CNR for the study of polymeric materials.

SKILLS:

Since 2008 he has started collaborating with Professor Garozzo on the proteomic study of complex mixtures using MALDI and ESI mass spectrometry.
The research activity concerns the characterization of glycoconjugates in different biological matrices. Proteomics and Glycomics studies range from the characterization of components of the bacterial cell barrier (structure/pathogenicity correlation, antibiotic resistance, characterization of the gut microbiome) to the study of neurodegenerative diseases, congenital disorders of glycosylation and tumors.
