Career
She earned her degree in
Physics at the University of Bologna, Italy. In 1987, she began her academic career as an
Assistant Professor of Biophysics at the University of Bologna, later becoming a full professor of Biochemistry/Biophysics in 2001. Her research primarily focuses on membrane and protein biophysics, as well as computer modeling of biological processes, including
protein folding , stability and interactions.
She has authored more than 500 scientific papers
[2] and held key roles in various editorial and organizational positions within the field of
bioinformatics .
Her work in
machine learning has been used for
protein structure prediction and methods from her group have been highly ranked in international competitions, such as the
Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP) and the
Critical Assessment of Function Annotation (CAFA).
