Veronica Caratelli is first-year PhD student in Chemical Science at Department of Chemical Science and Technologies, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, Italy. In the same University, she received her master degree in Biotechnology on 16th May 2018 with final grade of 110/110. Since her master’s degree thesis, her research activity deals with the development of sustainable and eco-friendly paper-based printed electrochemical biosensors for environmental analysis (main target analytes: pesticides such as organophosphorus compounds) and for precision medicine (i.e. Alzheimer’s diseases, Pancreatic cancer). She also exploits the properties of nanomaterials (i.e. carbon black, Prussian blue and gold nanoparticles) to increase the electroanalytical performances of sensors. Currently, she is author of two published paper in the peer-reviewed journal Biosensor and Bioelectronics (IF 8.173).


Noemi Colozza is a postdoctoral researcher at the NanoBioSensing Lab in the Department of Chemical Science and Technologies of the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" (Italy). In the same University, she received her master degree in Chemistry on 29th May 2015 with full marks and honours, and afterwards her doctorate in Chemistry on 28th February 2019. Her research activity deals with the development and characterisation of sustainable and user-friendly printed electrochemical (bio)sensors for the environmental and security field. Her main studies have focused on voltammetric detection of heavy metals, (bio)remediation of heavy metal polluted environment, and enzyme-based amperometric detection of chemical weapon mustard agents. These objectives have been reached through the development of (bio)sensors screen-printed on several materials (polyester, office paper, filter paper) eventually modified with different nanomaterials (carbon black, Prussian blue, gold nanoparticles) and biological components (enzymes). Very recently, she developed potentiometric paper-based screen-printed electrodes for monitoring the state of conservation of reinforced concrete.
Her work was awarded with the 2019 PhD prize from the Electrochemical Division of the Italian Chemical Society. She is co-author of 7 published papers in peer-reviewed journals (e.g. Biosensor and Bioelectronics IF 8.173), and 10 presentations at National and International congresses.

Vincenzo Mazzaracchio is PhD student at Department of Chemical Science and Technologies, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy. He graduated on 2016 in Chemistry at the same University. His research activity is focused on sensors and biosensors developing for analytical application in the field of clinic, food and environment. During the years he obtained specific knowledge on electrochemical techniques (i.e. impedance spectroscopy, amperometry, cyclic voltammetry and potentiometry), for heavy metals, inorganic pollutants and bacteriological species detection in water samples and ions detection in biological fluid. Moreover, he earned important skills on the use of nanomaterials (i.e. Carbon Black, gold nanoparticles, etc.), the screen-printing technology for miniaturized electrode fabrication onto plastic and paper substrate, the use of 3D printers for the realization of nanosized and high-resolution object for analytical support.

Marcoccio Eleonora is a master student in chemistry at University of Rome Tor Vergata. She is involved in the development of an electrochemical sensor for the automated determination of Salmonella taking part within SCIADRO project in collaboration with INSTM. Being interested in sustainability, she won the third prize presenting paper based sensors to monitor food safety at “Lavazza and Youth for SDGs” and "UrbanFarm2019" contests, and attended the “Sustainable Development Labs” Multidisciplinary Summer School of the University of Rome Tor Vergata and "The 2030 Agenda and the sustainable development goals" course held by ASVIS
