Guido Perra

Guido Perra is Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE), Italy, where he teaches in the Department of Chemical and Geological Sciences. His research centers on the development and validation of advanced analytical methods to trace persistent organic pollutants, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and microplastics in environmental, food, and biological matrices.

Education & Affiliation

• University of Modena and Reggio Emilia — Department of Chemical and Geological Sciences, Associate Professor (current).

Research Interests

Prof. Perra's work integrates LC-MS/MS method development with environmental biomonitoring. Key themes include:

• Occurrence and fate of PFAS, phthalates, bisphenol A, PAHs, and microplastics in aquatic ecosystems.
• Human and ecological exposure assessment via non-invasive sampling (fish, turtles, birds, human milk).
• Quality-by-Design (QbD) validation of analytical protocols for reclaimed water, food quality control, and cultural-heritage diagnostics.

Recent studies (2023–2025) have optimized HILIC-LC-MS workflows for polar emerging contaminants in reclaimed water, quantified PFAS in Po River fish, and evaluated BPA conjugates in biological fluids.

Scientific Recognition

While no major named awards are explicitly listed, Prof. Perra has led or contributed to multiple national and EU projects, including the Italian Ministry-funded PREVIENI project on endocrine disruptors and human infertility.

Teaching & Mentoring

• Course coordinator for “Analytical Chemistry II” (2023–2025) and “Analytical Methodologies for Quality Control” (2023–2025).
• Supervision of laboratory exercises on complex matrices (fertilizers, dairy, wine, olive oil).
• Student reception by appointment; office located at Via Campi 103, 2nd floor.
