Grasso Gianluca

ASSOCIATE publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, where I am involved in the HerbaSoil project, which investigates the impact of intensive agriculture on soil microbial biodiversity through an innovative paleogenomic approach. My work focuses on the extraction and sequencing of ancient microbial DNA from soil samples preserved in herbarium collections. The resulting data are compared with modern soil samples and analyzed using bioinformatic tools, with the aim of reconstructing how soil microbial…

SCHOLARSHIP HOLDER 011.397.7962 publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in Plant Biotechnology from the University of Turin in 2025. For the writing of my master’s thesis, I studied the application of RNAi for the control of Scaphoideus titanus, a vector of Grapevine flavescence dorée phytoplasma. This project involved insect breeding, the selection of potential target genes to be silenced, the synthesis and microinjection of dsRNA molecules. Finally, gene silencing was verified by RT-qPCR. I gained additional laboratory experience through curricular internships: the first as…
