Roberta Marchetti is Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples “Federico II”. During PhD in Chemical Sciences and Post-doctoral experiences, she has extended her knowledge of the analysis of bacterial cell wall glycoconjugates as well as of advanced NMR techniques for the characterization of molecular interactions events. Her research interests are mainly focused on the comprehension of glycoconjugate–protein interactions through the application of NMR spectroscopy and computational methods.
Prof. Marchetti is the PI of the ERC StG 2019 project “GLYCOSWITCH” aimed at disclosing the molecular basis of glycans recognition by host immune receptor proteins.
