Dinu Zinovie Ciobanu

Bio: Dinu received the Master’s degree in Chemical Sciences at University of Genoa. He completed the thesis in collaboration with University of Basque Country working on organic synthesis of bio-active compound via multi-component organocatalyzed reactions. After a short experience as Field Service Engineer, he joined IIT (Italian Institute of Technology) as Research Fellow working on two different projects: Graphene Flagship and FFC1.2023. In both projects he was involved in investigating the omics profiles, mainly proteomics and lipidomics, via mass spectrometry. Dinu joins the PROHITS project aiming at conducting collaborative and interconnected research on proteomics studies on thermophiles. TPP mass spec based proteomics experiments will be conducted on bacteria, gathering information about protein stability both in bulk and at single cell level. Dinu joins as DC6 in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary role with the final aim to generate, collect and output high quality proteomics data. This contribution is designed for the implementation of efficient and green industrial processes bacteria as biomass converters.
