معرفی
Stefania Abbruzzetti is an Associate Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Parma's School of Life Sciences. Her research focuses on photophysical processes and protein structural dynamics using nanosecond pulsed lasers. She has held academic positions since 2001, including post-doctoral fellowships and researcher roles.
- PhD in Physics (University of Parma, 2002)
- Specialization in Materials Science and Technology (cum laude, University of Parma)
- Specialization in Maths and Physics Teaching (University of Parma)
Her research explores:
- Protein folding kinetics via laser pH-jump techniques
- Photodynamic therapy for viral and tumor targeting
- Functional dynamics of hemoproteins
- Photochromic proteins for super-resolution microscopy
- Development of single-molecule fluorescence methods
Recent publications highlight applications of photodynamic therapy to SARS-CoV-2 inactivation, Antarctic bacterial hemoglobin dynamics, and aptamer-protein interaction studies using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Antonio Borsellino Award for best biophysics thesis (1994-1996)
- Best poster at IICVCB2005 (Osaka)
- INFM 2002 Highlights selection
- Best Biophysics Communication at SIF 2017
She coordinates projects like "Protein based carrier for tumor PDT" (2017-2019) and teaches molecular biophysics, physics, and biophysics courses at the University of Parma.
