Research Interest
particular interest were the studies on the interaction between microorganisms, immune system and diet with the aim of understanding the rules that guide the tolerance and pathogenicity of microorganisms. Within these studies, since 2002, Cavalieri has also contributed to developing bioinformatics methods to analyze "omica" data in the context of metabolic signal transduction networks, using bioinformatics and large data screening for the definition of their bioactive properties.
