Bio
GF spent several periods of study and research abroad:
(i) He has been at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) guests of Profs. L. Addadi and S. Weiner (1995-1997) to study the role of the organic matrix in the controlled deposition of calcium carbonate polymorphs in mollusk shells;
(ii) He has conducted research on this topic at the University of California Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara, USA, (1998) under the guidance of Prof. G. D. Stucky and Prof. D. E. Morse;
(iii) He has been at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, USA (2005), where with Prof. J. Moradian Oldak he focused the research on enamel formation;
The research activities of GF are mainly addressed in the field of biomineralization and macromolecular crystallography. It can be summarized in the following subjects:
the study of the crystalline structure using X-ray crystallography of biological macromolecules and minerals involved in the biomineralization processes of calcium carbonate;
the design and preparation of innovative surfaces of biomineralization inspiration for the crystallization of biological macromolecules;
the study of calcium carbonate deposition in corals and the effects of temperature and ocean acidification on growth mechanisms;
the study of the structure of the byssus from mussels and chitin from squid pens and the application of these materials for the preparation of new biomaterials for healthcare;
the reuse of waste seashells for the preparation of new advanced materials for cementitious applications, nano-medicine and tissue regeneration.
The research activities of GF are carried out through the use of several experimental techniques. He has access to sources of synchrotron light (in Trieste, Grenoble and Brookhaven) for the study by X-ray diffraction of the crystalline structure of biological macromolecules and for the determination of molecular recognition to the inorganic-organic interface. He uses electronic microscopes (SEM, ESEM, TEM and Cryo-TEM) and scanning probe microscopes to study the interaction between mineral phases and biopolymers. He guides the biocrystallization and biomineralization.
