معرفی
Annalisa Relini is an Associate Professor at the University of Genoa, affiliated with the Department of Physics for Life Sciences, Environment, and Cultural Heritage. Her research focuses on protein aggregation mechanisms, biophysical interactions between nanoparticles and cell membranes, and the development of therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases. She employs advanced techniques like Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to study mechanical stress effects on biomolecules.
Relini teaches courses in Biophysics, Soft Matter Physics, and General Physics across undergraduate and graduate programs (e.g., Bioengineering, Materials Science, and Physics). Her work bridges physics and life sciences, addressing topics such as amyloid fibril formation, cholesterol-liposome dynamics, and nanostructured drug delivery systems.
Her recent studies investigate how mechanical forces and hydrophobic environments influence protein self-assembly, with implications for understanding pathological aggregation in diseases like Alzheimer’s. She collaborates extensively on interdisciplinary projects combining material science, biophysics, and medical applications.
