    Research Interests

    Biophysics of Interfaces

    The cell membrane, the interface between the cell and its environment, is the functional element in cellular metabolism and signaling. A great deal is found about the lipid, protein and saccharide constituents of membranes and their organization, and the physical properties are related with structures and functions.

    A model has been utilized to study the physical properties of the cell membranes in which (glyco) proteins such as integrins, selectins, and lectins are involved in cellular interactions. On the other hand, direct measurements of the surface forces between lipid bilayers of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholoine, and galactolipids, the most common lipids in animal and plant membranes, suggest strong repulsive forces between highly hydrated head groups, which prevent membranes from coming into contact and reacting, adhering or fusing. Much could be known about the function and organization of the membrane's constituents if the physical properties of membranes could be measured with nano-meter scale lateral resolution.

    Biosensing Platforms

    Early detection of infectious diseases is important to enhance the quality of medical care and limit the spread of emerging infectious diseases. Thus, there is a need for rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive point-of-care sensors that have capability to identify multiple pathogens in complex samples such as blood.

    Novel techniques have been developed for sensing pathogens, based on microfluidics. Eventually, the techniques will be platform for high throughput with low sample volume reagents and highly selective analyte sensing. These assays are designed to abstract molecular level details and mechanistic insights from biophysical and bioanalytical problems that would otherwise be difficult to approach.

From 2008 to 2011 she worked under the supervisio of Prof. Sergio Silvestri and Dr. Emiliano Schena in the fied of mechanical ventilation. In particular she worked on development of optoelectronic and fiber optic-based flow sensors, as well as on ventilatory gases humidification. In 2011 she started her main research activity in the field of laser ablation of cancer, with particular regard to pancreatic tumor. She developed a mathematic model aiming to predic effects of laser light o pancreas, in terms of ablated volume and temperature distribution. Since 2012 she has been investigating the field of invasive (fiber optic sensors, thermocouples) and non-ivasive (based on diagnostic images) thermometry for temperature monitoring during laser ablation of tumour. In this activity she is actively collaborating with the team of research of the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology of J. W. Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main, headed by Prof. Thomas J. Vogl. Since 2013 she has been working in the fied of optical characterization of biological tissue, aiming to estimate optical properties of pancreas. She is collaborating with the team of Biophysics Institute J. W. Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main, headed by Prof. Werner Mäntele. In the framework of laser ablation for the removal of pancreatic cancer, she has participated at the study approved by UCBM Ethics Committee -ComEt UCBM-, Prot. N. 4011/2011. The study aims to treat with laser ablation patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer.

    Biography:

    My research focuses on establishing the clinical applicability of two new diagnostic parameters (to detect coronary artery disease) using a set of bench-top experiments, computational analysis, pre-clinical and clinical trials in our research group. These proposed diagnostic parameters based on fluid dynamic principles, pressure drop coefficient and lesion flow coefficient, have the potential to make a real paradigm shift in clinical decision making related to cardiovascular intervention. As part of my research involving pre-clinical and clinical trials I had collaborated with clinicians and scientists at College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati and at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Medical Center. Preliminary results from these studies have concluded the clinical applicability of these parameters to distinguish between stenoses of various severity.
    More recently, at Weill Cornell Medical College, I am working on using 3D printing, machine learning and computational fluid dynamics to predict and prevent coronary artery disease from non-invasive CCTA imaging data.

    Research Interest: 3D printing, Computational fluid dynamics, clinical radiology, non-invasive CCTA scanning, machine learning, interventional cardiology, applied mathematics, bio-heat transfer
