Overview

Giovanna Riccardi is affiliated with the University of Pavia in Italy and has contributed extensively to the fields of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their research intersects multiple subfields, including molecular biology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology, and plant science.

Their scholarly work covers a variety of significant topics such as cystic fibrosis research advances, tuberculosis research and epidemiology, biochemical and molecular research, Vibrio bacteria research studies, cancer therapeutics and mechanisms, legume nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, and bacterial biofilms and quorum sensing.

Riccardi's publications are frequently found in venues such as Applied Sciences, Frontiers in Microbiology, Trends in Microbiology, Vaccines, and Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications. Notable recent papers include:

  • "Promiscuous Targets for Antitubercular Drug Discovery: The Paradigm of DprE1 and MmpL3" (2020) in Applied Sciences
  • "Vaccines to Overcome Antibiotic Resistance: The Challenge of Burkholderia cenocepacia" (2020) in Trends in Microbiology
  • "Identification by Reverse Vaccinology of Three Virulence Factors in Burkholderia cenocepacia That May Represent Ideal Vaccine Antigens" (2023) in Vaccines
  • "Functional investigation of the antitubercular drug target Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribofuranose-2-epimerase DprE1/DprE2 complex" (2022) in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
  • "The cell division protein FtsZ as a cellular target to hit cystic fibrosis pathogens" (2020) in European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry

Among frequent collaborators are Laurent R. Chiarelli, Viola Camilla Scoffone, Silvia Buroni, Giulia Barbieri, and Gabriele Trespidi. These partnerships have resulted in multiple research outputs contributing to the understanding of infectious diseases and molecular targets for therapy.

Riccardi's work mainly orbits around cystic fibrosis and tuberculosis, with a strong focus on drug discovery and vaccine development. The research also encompasses molecular targets such as DprE1 and MmpL3 in antitubercular drug development and cellular targets relevant to cystic fibrosis pathogens.
