Dr. Eliana Capecchi is a senior researcher at the University of Tuscia. At the organic chemistry laboratory of natural substances (headed by Prof. Saladino). She is an expert in bionanotechnologies applied to the development of natural and renewable polymers and biocatalysis processes. The research area is focused on the development and chemical/physical characterization of natural polymers with particular attention to biotechnological, green, and eco-sustainable procedures for the functionalization of polyphenols in nanostructured form. During her career she was an author of international articles in the field of chemistry, materials science and biocatalysis.
