Giuliana d’Ippolito
Experience & Activities
2021-today: Senior researcher at CNR-Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry (ICB), Pozzuoli (NA) Italy
2009-2020: Staff Researcher at CNR-Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry (ICB), Pozzuoli (NA) Italy
The research activity, in the field of green chemistry and processes for sustainability, is framed in the following topics:
- Chemical studies of microbial metabolism for the biotechnological development of sustainable bioprocesses
- Production of bioenergy (biohydrogen and biodiesel) and added-value molecules through biological processes in hyper-thermophilic bacteria and marine microalgae
- Capture and valorization of CO2 through microbial platforms
- Isolation, structure elucidation, imaging and biosynthesis of small molecules with functional roles
Responsible for the CNR of numerous National and European projects, including EU Project EUREMAP (2024-2026 G.A. n. 101131663) “European Research Infrastructures for Marine Bioprospecting”, EU Project BioRECO2VER (2018-2021, G.A. n. 760431,) ”Biological routes for CO2 conversion into chemical building blocks” and the Project PON01_02740 SIBAFEQ (2011-2015) “Integrated exploitation of algal biomass in a quality energy chain”. Author of 102 scientific publications in international journals, H-index 29, and 1 European Patent. She recently spent three weeks in the laboratories of Prof. Zoltan Takats, Imperial College of London, within the program Short Term Mobility (CNR-STM) 2024. Invited speaker and relator at least of 15 international congresses, and Member of the Scientific Board at least 8 International Congresses. Member of the ICB Institute Council (CdI) since 2019. Tutor of 6 post-Docs, 5 PhDs, 3 Internships, 6 Degree Theses.
