Professors
Chiara Di Lorenzo is an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences “Rodolfo Paoletti” (DiSFeB) at the University of Milan, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her research focuses on the chemical characterization of food matrices and ingredients used in dietary supplements, with a particular focus on product quality, safety, and functional value.
An important line of research also involves the study and characterization of food allergens and other molecules implicated in food-related diseases, such as celiac disease. In this area, the academic spin-off Glutensens was launched, dedicated to the development of a new sensor for detecting gluten contamination in professional and mass catering.
During her scientific career, she has contributed to over 100 national and international conferences, published over 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals (H-index 24), and authored 5 book chapters. Since 2014, she has been a member of the Italian Chemical Society – Food Chemistry Division and, since 2015, of the Italian Society of Toxicology (SITOX).
Currently (academic year 2025–2026) he teaches the courses in “Food Chemistry” at the Degree Course in Toxicology for Human and Environmental Safety and “Dietotherapeutic Products” at the Master’s Degree Course in Pharmacy at the University of Milan.
