Since graduating in Physics in 1998 at the age of 22, she obtained a PhD in Physics and a European Doctorate for User of Large Experimental Systems in Grenoble (France) in 2002, she has carried out her research at several international laboratories. In 2003, she was an ATER researcher at the University of Lille (France), where from 2008 to 2010 she was an international UNESCO-L'Oréal For Women in Science fellow . In 2011, she acquired the " qualification aux fonctions de professeur des universités " in section 28 and in 2016 in section 64 in France. In 2012, she was an international European Molecular Biology Organisation fellow at the Institut de Biochimie et Biophysique Moléculaire et Cellulaire, Université de Paris-Sud XI (France). In 2013, she obtained the national scientific qualification as a Full Professor in Experimental Physics of Matter, becoming an Associate Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Messina in 2015. Since July 2016, she has been a Visiting Professor at the Institut de Biologie Integrative de la Cellule, CEA-CNRS-Université Paris Sud (France).
Federica Migliardo is a biophysicist who conducts her research in the life sciences as part of several international collaborations. Her research focuses primarily on the study of biological processes such as bioprotection, denaturation, and stabilization of biomolecules, and, more recently, on certain infectious diseases (tuberculosis and schistosomiasis) and neurodegenerative diseases ( Parkinson's disease ), with the aim of determining their molecular mechanisms and understanding the role of natural bioprotectors.
