The staff of the Biochemistry Unit includes researchers in Biochemistry and in the Hygiene field.

  The research topics in the biochemistry field deal with:

• Response to oxidative stress in different tissues and cells systems.
• Dysregulation of enzyme activities in the onset and progression of pathological states.
• Metabolism of toxic aldehydes.
• Modulation of enzyme activities involved in the onset of diabetic complications and inflammation.
• Modulation of oxidoreductases involved in the onset of chemoresistance in cancer cells.

The research topics in the Hygiene field deal with:

• Environmental and food virology studies aiming to study the presence and spread in the environment of pathogenic viruses.
• Environmental, Occupational and Food Hygiene studies applied to microbiological monitoring and to Quantitative Assessment model
