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
