Federica Chiappori

Federica Chiappori svolge attività di ricerca in ambito bioinformatico presso l'ITB-CNR dal 2006 ed è ricercatrice dal 2020. Dopo una laurea in Bioinformatica nel 2005 e un dottorato in Scienze per l'ambiente e la salute pubblica nel 2010, la sua attività di ricerca si sviluppa nell'ambito della modellistica molecolare di strutture proteiche e non. Ha oltre 15 anni di esperienza in studi di correlazione struttura-funzione, analisi d'interazione e disegno di composti con potenziale attività farmacologica. Principalmente impiega tecniche di dinamica molecolare, docking per lo studio di complessi proteina-ligando, proteina-proteina e proteina-RNA, in ambito HPC. Più recentemente si è occupata delle alterazioni del microbioma (batteri e funghi) e dei suoi effetti, con l'impego di tecniche di analisi di metagenomica. Svolge funzioni di revisore per riviste e progetti nazionali e internazionali. Ed è socio ordinario della società scientifica BITS.
