Marco Consumi

Biography

Marco Consumi is a Research Scientist at Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy in University of Siena, Italy. He has received his Ph.D. in Biomaterials from University of Trento and studied polymers and polymer based materials for controlled release of active substances in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical field. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, he was focused on understanding the correlation between the chemical composition of materials and their biological activity. He has broad expertise in synthesis modification and characterization of polymers (naturals and synthetics) and materials for biomedical applications. Actually, he is involved in 2 EU ITN projects in bacterial infection topic to fundamentally better understand the biology, chemistry and physical properties of biofilms and 2 Toscany Region funded projects on nutraceutical filed.
