Aims & Scope
Bioscience Nanotechnology focuses on applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology to the broad realm of biological sciences, with particular emphasis on microbiology, synthetic biology, plant and animal sciences, environmental sciences, and agriculture. A key aim of the journal is to promote the visibility and reach of innovative articles exploring new pathways in underrepresented areas in biology, and pushing the boundaries of research and technology in those spaces.
Read MoreViviana Scognamiglio is senior researcher at the Institute of Crystallography (IC), National Research Council (CNR), and Department of Chemical Sciences and Materials Technology (DSCTM). As the head of the Biosensor Lab at IC, she published over 100 articles in peer-review journals (H-index 28). She was a coordinator of National and EU Projects including Eranetmed NanoSWS, Interreg AdSWiM, Prin 2022 NANOgrab, as well as Unit Responsible of National projects and Bilateral Agreement.
Her research activity deals with:
i) design of opto-electrochemical biosensors for environmental and biomedical fields;
ii) characterization of organisms and macromolecules by fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism for the development of bioreceptors in biosensing;
iii) nanotechnology and material science for the setup of sensing devices;
iii) algae biotechnology as biofarm, bioremediation and biosensor for applications in the agro-environmental sector.
