Genoveffa Nuzzo

Nuzzo G. graduated in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology at the University of Naples in July 2008 with 110 cum laude, with an experimental thesis in organic chemistry. She holds a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Salerno, focusing her research activity on the exploration of the chemical diversity of marine organisms. After PhD, she continued the research activity of biomolecules from marine organisms, focusing in the study of lipids and structure characterization of marine metabolites by both Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry. She carried out research in various projects aimed mainly at identifying active molecules for health from marine sources. She is member of a Spin-Off BioSearch S.r.l. with the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, ICB-CNR Institute and Italbiotech (Non-profit organization), whose goal is the discover of new natural compounds from marine organisms for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical purposes. As main research of interest she is currently working on the development of a marine natural compounds’ library for drug discovery, upgraded chromatographic techniques used for the purification of biomolecules, spectroscopic and advanced spectrometers methods for the chemical characterization and stereochemistry determination of natural products.
