Teaching and educational leadership experience: Over 30 years of introductory and graduate level
teaching experience in chemistry, biology and physics at the high school, college and university level. Dr.
Bruccoleri has served within both the public and private Education sector as a teacher and school
principal. In 2017, Dr. Bruccoleri was a recipient of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Education Award
for work that linked transgenerational trauma, and environmental epigenetics with the experiences of First
Nations Residential School survivors.
Current Research Interests:
AI ML informed supramolecular technology in the design of antiaging and
cellular protection formulations for medicine, health and topical cosmetics. This includes the purposeful
design of natural deep eutectic solutions and novel cocrystallization materials that deliver potent
antiaging, neuroprotection, and functional antioxidant-colorants for cosmetics, food and beverages.
Selected Research Contributions:
1. Invited speaker at the Alberta Education Teacher’s (AISCA convention, Feb 14, 2025); Title: How
Trauma’s Effects Can Pass from Generation to Generation. The emerging field of epigenetics is
revolutionizing the study of mental health, brain chemistry and neuroprotection. Environmental
factors, including diet were discussed with respect to resilience and neurochemistry.
2. Invited keynote speaker and workshop at the Alberta Educational Leadership AISCA Convention
(October 26 th , 2023, in Calgary and October 27 th , in Edmonton); Title: Molecular Mechanisms of
Learning & Memory. How the classroom and school environment may be fine tuned to help
encourage academic excellence.
3. Calgary City Teachers Convention, Calgary Board of Education, Telus Convention Centre, 2019.
Invited speaker/workshop; Title: Intergenerational Trauma and Residential Schools: Implications
from Neuroscience and Epigenetics. How do we mitigate the effects of trauma?
4. Initiated an ongoing and currently active antiaging research project at Loma Linda University,
Faculty of Medicine (adjunct research professor, basic sciences - biochemistry division). Patents
pending (2025/2026). Loma Linda is the only Blue Zone in North America (the Blue Zone Project
is a longevity centenarian project).
5. Initiated a novel functional pigments research project using hibiscus sabdariffa as a potential
complimentary treatment against MS (2022): https://sciprofiles.com/profile/2036305
6. Sun Chemical Corporation (USA/NJ, 2017-2020); Inorganic-organic supramolecular complexes
as safe photocatalysts displacing toxic synthetics with applications for the print, packaging and
cosmetics industry: 2 patents, WO2019216961A1 and WO2019139948A1.
