Letizia FRACCHIA

Letizia FRACCHIA is an Associate Professor at the University of Eastern Piedmont 'Amedeo Avogadro', Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her work focuses on antimicrobial therapies, biosurfactants, and biomedical materials. She has led and collaborated on projects funded by institutions like MUR and Regione Piemonte, investigating biofilm inhibition on medical devices and wound healing solutions.

Her research interests include developing antimicrobial coatings for medical devices, studying biofilm formation mechanisms, and exploring biosurfactants' potential in drug delivery and tissue engineering. Key projects include studies on rhamnolipid-based coatings for titanium implants and silver-doped platelet-rich plasma for infection prevention.

Dr. FRACCHIA has contributed over 100 publications, with recent work emphasizing in vitro models of bacterial biofilms and novel antibacterial agents targeting multidrug-resistant pathogens. Her lab collaborates internationally to address challenges in wound healing and infectious diseases.
