Hi everybody,
I am at CNR, department of food productions, a huge assembling of scientists of different fields (plant molecular biologists, plant metabolites, microbes, and food products). My interest is the development and aplications of innovative tools, protein chips, studies on compound interactions, we label one protein with fluorescence and detect the binding unsing a scanner, for the aplication of antibodies in detection of targets (either for quality as also for safety purposes). Another label free method is based on SPR, and also AFM can be used. Since there are problems presently to find funding for projects and fellowships, I wish among the activities of this group will be to help youngs with news on grants and exchange of information
all the best

Hi everyone
I’am a scientific journalist. I am in the editorial staff of Galileo and I write for L’espresso, Le Scienze, Il Sole24Ore. Together with 3 colleagues I founded a media company specialised in science communication, Galileo servizi editoriali.
I write mainly about medicine, ethics and science politics. I think that this forum can be a good occasion for Italian researchers and people that works with and around science to open an international window on the Italian reality. -
Hi everybody. My name is Roberto Cerbino. I am a physicist and I work in Milan, at Università degli Studi di Milano. The focus of my research is the optical investigation of “soft” and biological materials.
I like the idea of NN Italy as an exchange platform for information, ideas, projects and why not…dreams.

Hi everybody.
I am Gianluca Polgar, a PhD candidate (last year) working in Rome (Università “La Sapienza”).
I study the ecology and evolution of mudskippers (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae), a group of amphibious fishes (www.themudskipper.org).I think that a comparative study of these fish may further our understanding of the selective pressures and ecological dynamics at work during the vertebrate water-to-land transition, in the Middle-Late Devonian. I study their morphological and molecular phylogenetics, phylogeography, taxonomy, spatial ecology and behaviour. My fields of interests also include convergent evolution, adaptive and coevolutionary processes, and paleontology/paleoecology of Devonian prototetrapods.
I hope that NN Italy may be a place where post-doc opportunities in Italy are promptly made known, especially for basic (not-applied) scientists! :-)
Cheerio,

Hello network members,
I am an independent biomedical editor-writer and information professional, based in Treviso (see uptoit).
Prior to beginning my activity 10 years ago, I earned bachelors and doctoral degrees in biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology in the US, did postdoctoral work at the Whitehead Institute, and worked in molecular pharmacology at Glaxo, Verona.
I am interested in promoting quality publishing of biomedical research, among both authors and journals. I am active in this area through the services I offer (editing, writing, training) and through some independent research (see my Plos One paper). In this network, I’d like to exhange ideas on this important topic.
Best regards, vm

Hello everyone! My name is Fulvio Celsi and I’m currently starting a new Post-doc period in Trieste@SISSA. I worked mainly in the molecular basis of neurodegenerative disease, but now I’ll start a new project on olfactory transduction mechanisms
I would like NN Italy to be a place to discuss about what is around science in italy and how to change it :) how to do something to change the “system” and in which way change it

Hi, my name is Mariella Bussolati. I am a science writer, actually a science journalist, writing books, articles, stories, making videos, podcasting, web sites. My first issues were nature, environment, agriculture, then came science responsability, and digital cultures. My regual job now is at D&R Focus and Yahoo answer (Math and science). Then there is the “creative commons” work, after hours of course: I am writing a book on activism and science, and I produce slide shows on people who care for their local community.

Ciao to all forum members,
I am glad that Nature launched this usefull Network. I am a Biologist, a PhD student but also a research technician. In the past, I worked in the field of genomics but now I’m working on proteomics issues using mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF and Esi-QqTOF). Essentially, in the lab we’re identifying proteins from organisms of interest for environmental toxicology; in both animals and in plants with sequenced genome or not, but also human proteins obtained from cultured cell. I’m working in Italy in Alessandria (Piemonte), Universita’ del Piemonte Orientale… (Don’t laugh… yes, it exists)See you soon in Italy
