Biography
|
Microbiologist specialized in gut and vaginal microbiota, probiotics and bifidobacteria. Her work focuses on the study of the gut microbiota and of microorganism-microorganism and microorganism-host interactions, using mutagenized bacterial strains and techniques such as RNA-seq, MALDI-TOF, fermentation systems and co-culture models with human cells. Experience in managing laboratory operations and solid knowledge of genetic engineering. PhD in Biotechnology and Biosciences (Microbiology) at the University of Parma (2022-2024), including a research stay at University College Cork (Ireland, 2022-2023) working on the genetic engineering of bifidobacteria. Laboratory technician at FAMAVIT S.p.A. (2025-2026). Bioinformatics tools: BLAST, Clustal X, Artemis, FigTree and iTOL. |
