LINEE DI RICERCA
Pasquale Ferranti is Professor in Food Science and Technology at the Department of Agriculture (University of Naples Federico II). He has carried out full-time research at the Department of Biochemistry, Imperial College of Technology, London. He has a consolidated research experience in the field of agronomical and food science, certified by a large number of publications and scientific collaborations with international research groups. His research group has developed a series of ‘omic’-based strategies for the identification and quantification of animal biomarkers and of functional biomolecules in food matrices. The most recent activity is also focused on the applications of ‘omic’ platforms to livestock productivity and breeding and to quality and safety certification of the derived foods. The laboratory of functional ‘omics’ is equipped with state-of-art analytical instruments such as electrospray and MALDI mass spectrometers, Q/TOF tandem MS, triple quadrupole electrospray HPLC-MS instruments.
