After graduating at the University of Rome, Italy, he was post doc in Israel, United States and France working. In 1984 he joined the Department of Chemistry of the University of Naples, Italy, as assistant professor. In 1990 he moved to the University of Rome Tor Vergata where he is now full professor. In 1999 Visiting Professor at University of Kyoto. He is author of more that 150 papers on international, peer reviewed journals. His research activities cover the design of new functional contrast agents, the structural and dynamic properties of hydrogels, the formulation of nanocomposites for biomedical uses, micro- and nano- devices for molecular imaging and dosimetry.
