Giulia Giubertoni

Dr. Giulia Giubertoni is a researcher at the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences within the Faculty of Science at the University of Amsterdam. Her work focuses on molecular interactions in biological systems, utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques to study hydration dynamics, hydrogen bonding, and structural adaptability of proteins and biopolymers.

Research Interests: Her research spans multiple disciplines including biophysics, molecular biology, and materials science. Key areas include:

• Spectroscopic analysis of protein hydration and hydrogen bonding
• Mechanisms of biostasis in extremophile protein systems
• Characterization of biopolymer interfaces and gelation
• Dynamics of pH-responsive and metal ion-interacting biopolymers

Publication Trends: Over the past decade, Giulia has pioneered the use of multidimensional infrared and diffusion-ordered spectroscopy to investigate molecular size, conformational changes, and hydration effects in systems ranging from collagen to tardigrade proteins. Her work bridges fundamental molecular physics with applied biopolymer research.
