Within a scientific interest concerning natural and induced fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging, present activity is mainly given to:
- Characterization of photophysical properties (fluorescence, autofluorescence spectroscopy) of natural compounds acting as fluorophores, as endogenous biomarkers with reference to structure and functions of animal cells and tissues
- Biotechnology: development of procedures for in situ, real time diagnostic procedures based on autofluorescence detection (Optical biopsy, Fluid optical biopsy)
