معرفی
Pietro Delcanale is a fixed-term Researcher at the Department of Mathematical, Physical, and Computer Sciences of the University of Parma, Italy. He has been consistently teaching Physics courses in the First Cycle Degree in Natural and Environmental Sciences across multiple academic years (2019/2020–2025/2026).
Research Interests: His work spans biophysics, virology, and protein engineering, with a focus on photodynamic inactivation of viruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), mechanical properties of viral particles, fluorescence spectroscopy for molecular interactions, and extremophile protein dynamics in Antarctic bacteria. He utilizes advanced techniques like single-molecule spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy.
Publications: His recent research (2024–2025) highlights innovative approaches to antiviral strategies, protein delivery systems, and structural/functional analysis of extremophile proteins, often in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
Collaborations: Works with researchers in biochemistry (e.g., Stefania Abbruzzetti), biophysics (e.g., Cristiano Viappiani), and microbiology (e.g., Alberto Diaspro, Santi Nonell).
