Martina Catani

Biography

Martina is Assistant Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Ferrara (Dept. of Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Agricultural Sciences) and she received a PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2018 from the same University.

During her PhD, she has spent research periods at VUB Brussels (Belgium) and the University of Pécs (Hungary). Then, she worked at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) as a postdoctoral research fellow in 2019.

She is the co-author of more than 70 papers published in peer reviewed journals and she has presented her research activities as an invited speaker at several national and international meetings.

Martina works in the field of liquid chromatography for both analytical and preparative purposes. Her main research activities are focused on the purification of polypeptides, oligonucleotides, and proteins by means of single-column and continuous countercurrent multicolumn preparative LC; investigation of kinetic and thermodynamic phenomena in chiral and achiral HPLC and SFC and, more recently, she has also begun dedicating her work to analytical approaches applied to omics science.

She has been the recipient of many awards, including the “Csaba Horváth Young Scientist Award” conferred at HPLC2018 Washington (USA), the “2021 Young Researcher Award” conferred by the Analytical Chemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society and the “Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award” conferred by LCGC in 2024.
