Simona Piccolella, Dr. PhD, is a researcher in General and Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of “Environmental, Biological and Pharmaceutical Science and Technologies” of the University of Campania “L. Vanvitelli” (Caserta, Italy) since 2011. In 2010 she obtained a Ph.D. in "Resources and Environment" at the same University. Her research activity deals with the chemistry of bioactive natural products from medicinal and/or edible plants and fruits. The main topics are the structural characterization of plant secondary metabolites by mass spectrometry, the LC/MS-based metabolic profiling and the in vitro evaluation of antioxidant capacity, cytotoxic or chemopreventive and neuroprotective properties of natural products (phytocomplexes and pure compounds). At present, the scientific activity has been documented by 41 papers, published in peer-reviewed international journals, 2
