Dr Maida Oliveira winner of the 2020 Doctoral Award of the Electrochemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society

admin 10 June 202021 July 2022

The Electrochemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society awarded Dr Maida Oliveira with the 2020 Doctoral Prize “Fondazione Oronzio e Niccolò De Nora” for a PhD thesis entitled “Development and Optimization of Nanostructured Carbon-based Materials for Energy Applications”.

Dr Oliveira’s work was carried out within the MaDE@UTV research group (http://made.uniroma2.it/) of the Department of Chemical Science and Technologies of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, in the PhD program in Materials for Health, Environment and Energy (http://materials-phd.uniroma2.it/en/home-en/).

The research activity was focused on the development of platinum-group-metal-free catalysts for electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications, and was carried out in collaboration with several national and international research groups, such as the groups led Prof. Plamen Atanassov (The University of California, Irvine), Prof. Carlo Santoro (The University of Manchester) and Prof. Paula Colavita (Trinity College Dublin).

Winners of the Degree and Doctorate Awards of the Electrochemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society

“Fondazione Umberto Veronesi Fellowship 2020” awarded to two of our young researchers.

admin 12 December 201922 July 2022

Congrats to Dr. Bertucci and Dr. Rossetti.

Dr. Alessandro Bertucci, former Marie Curie Research Fellow in Francesco Ricci’s group, receives a prestigious Fondazione Umberto Veronesi Fellowship 2020 supporting his work at our department throughout next year. With his project titled “Theranostic Synthetic Bio-Networks Controlled by Oncogenic Transcription Factors”, Alessandro plans on creating DNA-based systems artificially regulated by oncogenic proteins with potential application in sensing or therapy for “precision oncology”.

Breast cancer is the most common and first cause of cancer-associated mortality among women worldwide. Dr. Rossetti Marianna’s project aims to address the unmet needs, opportunities, and challenges in the field of liquid biopsy for the detection of emerging breast cancer biomarkers through the development of a nucleic acid-based Point of Care (PoC) device. The goal of her proposal is to push forward the PoC device developed in 2019, funded by the Fondazione Umberto Veronesi, by including the detection of breast cancer-associated autoantibodies.

Both the research activities will be carried out in the lab of the hosting PI Prof. Francesco Ricci.

XI International Conference on Chemistry for Young Scientists “Mendeleev 2019″

admin 29 April 201922 July 2022

The conference will be held in Saint Petersburg (September 9-13, 2019), as a satellite event during the XXI Mendeleev Congress on General and Applied Chemistry, dedicated to the 150^thanniversary of the Periodic Table.

“Mendeleev 2019″ will provide young chemists (undergraduate students, PhD-students, and young scientists aged under 35) an opportunity to present their research and meet scientists working in various fields of chemistry at Saint Petersburg State University.
The Official language of Mendeleev 2019 is English.

The scientific program will consist of keynote lectures given by the leading world scientists, oral presentations of young participants and a poster session.

The strange case of PNIPAM: molecular answer of a thermosensitive synthetic macromolecule in water

admin 22 November 201825 July 2022

This study, by Ester Chiessi, researcher of our Department, in collaboration with Letizia Tavagnacco ed Emanuela Zaccarelli (CNR, Istituto dei Sistemi Complessi of Rome), describes the molecular behaviour of a polymer that is largely used for its thermal responsivity in aqueous environment. The paper, published on Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics in 2018, has been selected as key scientific article contributing to excellence in science and engineering research.

DSTC physical chemists awarded Start Cup Lazio 2018

admin 20 November 201830 June 2022

Our researchers Dr. Emanuela Gatto and Dr. Claudia Mazzuca he been selected as recipients of the Start Cup Lazio 2018 Award with the SPLastica Project. Emanuela Gatto and Claudia Mazzuca, together with Valentina Armuzza, a former student of our MSc Degree in Chemistry, and Graziano Massaro, a business consultant, have been awarded the First Prize of the Start Cup Lazio 2018, for the Best Idea of Innovative Company developed into a Research Center of Lazio.

Their project “SPLastica: Sustainable Plastic” aims to the realization of biodegradable and compostable plastic-like materials developed from no longer edible food waste as primary source.The project embraces the idea of circular economy, as it makes possible to convert waste into a resource. With waste it will be possible to create new products, which, at the end of their life cycle, can be thrown into an organic compost bin, becoming soil fertilizers.

The SPlastica team will participate to the PNI, the National Award for Innovation, promoted by the national network of university business incubators (PNI Cube), which will take place in Verona on November 29th and 30th.

Congratulations to all the team and best wishes for the participation at the National Competition!

Our Analytical Chemistry strikes again!
