Curriculum

L'attività di ricerca svolta da Alejandro Giorgetti ha riguardato la applicazione di metodi della bioinformatica e della biologia computazionale a diversi sistemi d’interesse biochimico e farmacologico, in particolare sistemi contenenti proteine di membrana.
Fin dall'inizio del dottorato di ricerca (anno 2000), Alejandro Giorgetti ha studiato e modellato, utilizzando metodi bioinformatici e in collaborazione con gruppi sperimentali, diverse proteine di membrana . Nei tre anni trascorsi come post-doc all'Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza” (2004 - 2007), si è inoltre specializzato nell'utilizzo e sviluppo delle più recenti tecniche della bioinformatica strutturale delle proteine, in collaborazione con il gruppo della Prof.ssa Anna Tramontano. Negli anni come ricercatore all’Università degli Studi di Verona (2007 - ), ha ripreso entrambe le linee di lavoro, utilizzando le più moderne tecniche di modellizzazione della struttura di proteine nell’ambito di diversi sistemi, in particolare sistemi di signalling molecolare del sistema nervoso, attivati da recettori accoppiati a proteina G (GPCR). Inoltre, una seconda linea di lavoro include l'applicazione, analisi e/o sviluppo di nuove tecniche di bioinformatica e biologia computazionale in casi di interesse biochimico in collaborazione con diversi gruppi sperimentali e/o teorici.

  1. Linea di ricerca principale: Recettori accoppiati a proteina G (GPCR) di interesse neurobiologico
    1. Studio a livello molecolare della percezione sensoriale.
    2. Neuro-GPCRs di interesse farmacologico
    3. Sviluppo di strumenti per la caratterizzazione di GPCRs
  2. Applicazioni/Sviluppo di tecniche di biologia computazionale e bioinformatica a casi di particolare interesse biochimico, in collaborazione con diversi gruppi di ricerca, locali, nazionali ed internazionali. Esempi di applicazioni e di tecniche utilizzate:
    1. Structural Bioinformatics
    2. Sviluppo di strumenti computazionali
