Green Extraction and Valorisation of Bioactive Compounds from Food and Food Waste

Prof. Gregorio Peron is currently Associate Professor of Food Chemistry at the Department of Molecular and Translational Medicine of the University of Brescia (Italy). He earned a Master's Degree in Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Padova in 2014 and a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the same University in 2018. His research focuses on metabolomics applications in nutritional and nutraceutical studies, with a particular interest in characterizing lesser-known medicinal and edible plants to identify new natural sources of bioactive compounds. He also investigates innovative approaches for the reuse and valorization of agri-food byproducts through microbial fermentation.
