Giorgia Ortolani is a researcher at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in structural characterization and dynamics of photoactivated membrane proteins, particularly within the Rhodopsin family. Her research employs advanced biophysical techniques such as cryo-crystallography and time-resolved serial crystallography to investigate these systems. Ortolani also has significant experience studying soluble mitochondrial proteins using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate structural properties. Her expertise extends to exploring viral proteins, identifying 'druggable' sites for the development of novel antiviral therapeutics. By integrating structural biology methodologies with computational drug discovery approaches, she aims to uncover key mechanistic insights into viral protein function and identify potential drug targets. This interdisciplinary strategy bridges experimental and computational techniques, enhancing the understanding of viral pathogenesis and facilitating rational drug design. Ortolani has contributed to several prominent publications, reflecting her commitment to advancing the field of structural biology.
