Her research interests are: molecular biology of pathogens of economic importance on agricultural crops, in particular viruses and fungi. She deals with topics associated with the epidemiology of these pathogens and their interaction with plants in the context of climate change. She is focused on molecular and serological diagnostics of plant pathogens, with particular interest in quarantine plant pathogens, as well as innovative precision diagnostics. In addition, she is interested in the expression of proteins in plants that can be used in the medical, veterinary and pharmaceutical fields, and in the epidemiology of human or animal pathogens present in the environment, in the agricultural and livestock sectors, with particular interest in ‘one health approach’.
