Curriculum Vitae
I graduated from the University of Turin in Natural Sciences and Plant Biotechnology. During my Master I worked on the gene regulation of the immune response of honey bees following viral infections and attacks by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor and then on the diagnostics of plant pathogens transmitted by vector insects, such as Xylella fastidiosa and the phytoplasma associated with Flavescence Dorée disease. During my PhD at the University of Bordeaux (France), I worked on the identification of the receptors involved in the early stages of the insect vector Euscelidius variegatus infection by the phytoplasma associated with Flavescence Dorée disease.
