His main research interests regard:

mechanical characterization at the nanometer and micrometer scale of living cells (adult skeletal muscle fibre) and biological tissues (cartilage) using atomic force microscopy (AFM) related techniques
protein-protein (synapsin) interaction studies on supported lipid membranes using AFM
cell membrane receptors direct (label free) mapping using AFM tips functionalised with short peptides and antibodies
development of combined set-ups for in vitro electro/mechanical characterization of cells at the nanometer scale
development of ink-jet based systems for surface patterning with biomolecules
development of bioMEMS based analytical system based on arrays of microcantilevers and their application in biosensing

On the above topics he has contributed more than 65 publications on international peer-reviewed journals
