Francesca Camponeschi graduated cum laude in Chemistry in 2007 at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” and obtained her PhD in Chemical Science from the University of Siena in 2010. From 2011 to 2013 she has been Research Assistant at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Siena. In 2014 she joined the Magnetic Resonance Center and the Department of Chemistry of the University of Florence as a Research Assistant. From 2018 to 2022 she has been Research Assistant at the Interuniversitary Consortium for Magnetic Resonance of MetalloProteins (CIRMMP) of the University of Florence. From December 2022 she is working as RTDa Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Florence.
The research activity of Francesca Camponeschi is mainly focused on the investigation at molecular level of the cellular mechanisms responsible for the biogenesis of iron-sulfur proteins in humans. Her studies involve the investigation at atomic level of the structural and spectroscopic properties of protein-metal cofactor and protein-protein complexes, through the use of an integrated structural biology approach, that involves both the expression and purification of recombinant proteins for structural studies, and their biophysical and biochemical characterization through solution NMR, EPR, UV-Visible and CD spectroscopies, and chromatographic techniques.
