During my master thesis I: • Computationally simulated and predicted the effects of site directed mutagenesis upon different enzymes in order to modulate their activity. • Implemented new methods into a computational pipeline specifically built for site directed mutagenesis effects prediction.

There are already several sensors that are able to detect gluten in food. However, there are milestones that still have not been overcome. We propose a robust model in which the HLA molecule of a patient is expressed and used as a sensor to detect specific reactive gluten epitopes.

Curricular practises and final degree thesis:• I conducted conservation analysis of non-codifying DNA regions throughout species in order to identify possible regulatory sites for embrionic development-involved proteins. • I performed molecular biology protocols to in vivo characterize putative regulatory sites on zebrafish embryos.

Master'S Degree, Bioengineering And Biomedical Engineering

Focused on Structural Bioinformatics and Molecular Modeling.

Grado, Biotechnology

I focused my formation on learning data management methods and bioinformatics.
