Flaminia Malvezzi Campeggi obtained the degree in Physics cum laude in 1997 from the University of Rome La Sapienza and the PhD, major Biophysics, at the University of Tor Vergata (Rome) in 2001. She performed part of her doctoral work at Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Goettingen (Germany). Her work was concentrated in analysing the proteins’ folding and unfolding through fluorescence spectroscopy and in studying the fluorescence emitted by the newly discovered red fluorescent protein DsRed. Her final report was published in Biophysical Journal and Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communication. In 2001 she moved to Verona (Italy), where she spent 5 years as postdoctoral researcher. She was involved in studying the role of Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Microspectroscopy and analysing the UV long term effects on human cells. In the meantime, she had several teaching assignments both at University and at second level. She obtained the official qualification for teaching in 2009, from the University of Venice. In 2010 she moved to Dublin as Research Officer for the RCSI. She managed the CEMP Marie Curie postdoctoral programme for researchers, for which she also organised the leadership and management development programme week (LMDP). She moved back to Verona in 2012 as teacher and science writer. She is now science writer and research support officer at the Italian Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation FFC Onlus
