VALENTINA MARCHESANO

My scientific interests are dedicated to the study of the development, physiology and evolution of the nervous system. I work at interdisciplinary research projects aimed to develop new tools committed to the study of gene function using animal models and nanobiotechnologies. I'm also focused on young researchers mentoring and on science dissemination. I'm author of more than 40 papers published on peer-review International journals. Since 2001, I have a permanent position as staff researcher at the CNR ISASI - Istituto Scienze Applicate e Sistemi Intelligenti “E.Caianiello".

C. Tortiglione is researcher at CNR since 2001, heading the Nanobiomolecular group at Istituto di Scienze Applicate e Sistemi Intelligenti "E.Caianiello" (ISASI-CNR, Pozzuoli) of National Research Council since 2007. After completing her graduate research at Istituto di Genetica e Biofisica (IGB-CNR, Naples), she spent two years at ICMB, University of Edinburgh, in the laboratory of Developmental Biology (Prof. M. Bownes). Back in Italy she received her PhD at University of Naples, developing new skills in Plant Genetics and Biotechnology, followed by several postdoctoral appointments. At ISASI (former Istituto di Cibernetica) she launched new research lines merging Biology to Nanoscience. Beside basic investigations on key pathways controlling development and cell differentiation using cell and molecular biology tools, the novelty of her research is the development and the use of nanoparticle-based methods for analysis of gene and cell function, manipulation of intracellular pathway, optical and magnetic hyperthermia, controlled drug delivery. Recently, she is exploiting the possibility to use organic semiconducting polymers to control cell function. She demonstrated the possibility to modulate animal behaviour and light sensitivity by using photovoltaic nanoparticles, and is currently using these materials for therapeutic purposes. More recently she exploited the possibility to use the biocatalytic machinery of living organisms for fabricating functional hybrid bioelectronic interfaces, fully integrated into the tissues, using semiconducting oligomers as build blocks
