I'm a biochemist at the University of Cagliari, Italy, mainly working on antimicrobial peptides and their interactions with lipid membranes. Another field of scientific activity centers around the symbiotic interaction between plants and some macrofungi (ectomycorhizae). You can access my Google Scholar profile here: http://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=tNdxmYUAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&authuser=1. Also, I've very strong interest in science communication, writing on biomedical and global health topics and other science-related general issues (such as open access, for example). As a science writer, I'm a regular contributor to EMBO reports, SciDev.Net, and other outlets (PLoS Medicine, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, and others).
