MAURO ROSSI 

Mauro Rossi is Research Director at the Italian National Research Council (CNR)-Institute of Food Sciences (ISA) and Head of the Immunobiology Unit. He has 30-year work experience in the field of the Biochemistry and Immunology of the small intestine. In the nineties, he worked in the laboratories of Proff. Auricchio (University “Federico II” of Naples, Italy), Noren (Panum Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark), Semenza (ETH, Zurich, Switzerland) on the biosynthesis of intestinal disaccharidases and lactose intolerance (adult-type hypolactasia), and Prof. Londei (Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, London, UK) on the cellular and molecular aspects of antigen-specific T cell activation. His research focuses on the immunology of the small intestine, mainly on the mechanisms of tolerance to food antigens and on the development of microbiological and enzymatic strategies to down-regulate the intestinal hypersensitivity to wheat gluten. He is also involved in basic and oriented applied research on probiotics.

Title:

"Pilot scale production of a non-immunogenic transamidated wheat gluten with applications in GF food processing."
