Laura DugoLaura Dugo is Associate professor of Food Chemistry at the Department of Science and Technology for Humans and the Environment, University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome. She received her Master Degree in Pharmacy at the University of Messina and the Ph.D in Pharmacology at the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London, where she also was a post-doctoral fellow at the laboratory of Experimental Pathology. Research activity focuses on food-derived compounds, their biological activity and potential implication of diet composition on human health. Bioactive compounds are investigated through in vitro cellular models of oxidative stress, inflammation and glycation. A specific focus of the research activity is the recovery of bioactive compounds from waste materials of the agri-food chain, with a circular economy perspective, aiming to identify bioactive molecules-rich matrices for nutraceuticals and food supplements manufacturing. 104 peer-reviewed publications, and 5130 citations.
