Biography

Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Bologna. Since 1990 he has contributed to the development of in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy in basic research and in diagnostic applications. In 1987 he gained his master’s degree in Chemistry, and PhD in Biochemistry in 1994. From 1992 to 1993 he has been working at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics of the University di Pennsylvania. His scientific activity ranged from organic and physical chemistry to biochemical thermodynamics. At present part of the activity is directed to the study of magnesium homeostasis in living human tissues and in vitro in cell culture. He contributed to the development of a novel procedure to simplify the treatment of the thermodynamics of complex systems making possible to re-unify the two worlds of chemical and biochemical thermodynamics, which so far have been treated separately, and represents a new paradigm in the biochemical thermodynamics
