The research activity of Prof. Daniela is centered on the comprehension of the molecular processes associated with the neurodegenerative diseases. The core of the research is to investigate the mechanisms and the factors able to affect the structure of proteins involved in the diseases, with the final aim to find new molecules able to influence protein oligomerization and aggregation. The research activity is performed by means of huge number of experimental and in silico methods. Prof. Daniela Valensin is an expert of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, which is very useful to determine protein conformational rearrangements induced by metal ions and ligands.
