Research Areas: She leads the Conservation Genetics Research Unit at the Department of Biodiversity and Molecular Ecology, FEM - Fondazione Edmund Mach in Trento, https://www.fmach.it/eng. The main goal of this research group is to provide the scientific basis for interventions aimed at halting animal population decline. More specifically, we investigate the role of genomic diversity in population dynamics of charismatic alpine vertebrates, microbiota in the conservation status of endangered species, and hybrid zones in speciation. FEM also develops and applies genomic and metagenomic tools to specific animal conservation issues, from amphibians and fish to game birds and large carnivores and is particularly specialized in the analysis of non-invasive samples, such as feathers and faecal pellets, with dedicated laboratories for the analysis of modern, environmental, and ancient animal DNA. Her active international collaborations include the Univs of Bolzano, Cardiff, Cornell, Ferrara, Helsinki, Jyväskylä, Innsbruck, Pavia, Piacenza, and Pisa, as well many parks and government offices.

Comparative anatomy and cytology

Research Areas: 1) transcriptomics and epigenomics of marine mammals: application of cellular and molecular methods to assess the effects of environmental stressors on the marine ecosystem. The main goal of the project is the establishment of the challenges endured by apex predators in the Mediterranean (marine mammals in particular), but also by the inhabitants of the coastal areas, which are exposed, to a less degree, to the same contaminants. Transcriptomic and epigenome analysis of selected tissues are employed to develop gene biomarkers of exposure to selected contaminants whilst assessing the health status of marine organisms. 2) immunobiology of immune system of polar vertebrates. The main goal of the project is to gain insight on how the immune system of teleosts adapts to cold through molecular and cellular approaches.

As regards the first area, he studies methods for the separation and recognition of micro and nano plastics in environmental and biological matrices, monitors plastics in continental, marine-coastal and offshore water bodies (water column and sediments), and studies the accumulation of micro and nano plastics in the marine trophic network (invertebrates and vertebrates) with a focus on species of commercial interest. As regards the second area, he works on the optimization of mollusc aquaculture production and reduction of waste in a circular economy perspective; on innovative strategies for the recovery of waste in aquaculture; on the environmental footprint of aquaculture products and activities.

Ecology

Research Areas: Biodiversity and aliens and long-term ecological research. As regards the first area, activities concern the implementation of knowledge related to the composition of benthic invertebrate communities in aquatic environments; the analysis of the presence and spread of alien species as well as their effect on indigenous biodiversity, especially in transition environments and commercial and tourist ports in the northern Adriatic Sea. As regards the second area, long-term ecological research is fundamental to understand patterns and processes underlying aquatic ecosystem dynamics: coastal lagoons are also considered to be one of the most vulnerable marine environments in the face of climate change and its effects, in particular large-scale impacts, such as increased temperatures, storminess, and changes in sediment dynamics. The aim is thus to provide information on ecological responses in transitional ecosystems.

Experimental Biology

Research Areas: Research interests focus on the advancement of cell therapy. Innovative methods of cell culture and analysis include new bioreactors to culture cell aggregates as 3D spheroids and more organ-like structures. Recent developments in nanotechnology and smart biomaterials can greatly enhance our understanding of cell biology. For example, the novel material graphene has electrochemical and optical properties suited to the design of new biosensors. Advances in analytical technologies improve the measurement of cell functions to support Potency Assays, a specific measure that tests a functional attribute concerning a product's ability to mediate a clinical effect. This represents a fundamental requirement; no cell-based therapeutic product can be released by a BioPharma manufacturer without completion of an approved Potency assay, independently assessed by regulatory authorities. Through improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms and critical quality attributes underlying cell-based regenerative medicine, advanced therapy medicinal products seek improved wellbeing by addressing previously unmet medical needs.

Genetics

Research Areas: He is a population geneticist interested in the evolution and conservation of several species (e.g., Apennine brown bear, Hermann’s tortoise, the yellow-bellied toad). With his Population Genetics and Genomics group, is.gd/popgg, he explores the patterns of genomic variation to reconstruct demographic and selection processes, with a focus on the impact (e.g., genetic load, genetic fragmentation, evolution of new traits) of recent human activities (e.g., habitat degradation, overhunting, domestication). He is interested in the application of population genomics analyses to help planning more responsible and efficient strategies to prevent biodiversity loss and to foster environmentally sustainable development.

Genetics

Research Areas: Theoretical and empirical population genetics, conservation genetics, evolution of sharks and bony fishes, connectivity in the Indo-Pacific, and urbanization. The common theme linking these fields is the reconstruction of the demographic history of populations and species in space and time. His focus is on the properties and limits of inferential framework currently used in population genetics, particularly when spatial structure is present. This is crucial to interpret the observed demographic variation in response to climate changes and/or human modification of the environment, with practical consequences on the management of (threatened) species. Two research topics particularly relevant to the PhD programme are: 1) The study of the behaviour of extant species in the next future, based on the variation of genetic diversity through time 2) The use of sequencing approaches to detect and quantify the genomic footprints left by species adapted to live in sympatry with humans in urban environments.

Research Areas: Strong interdisciplinary orientations stemming from interests in philosophy, law, and the history of ideas as well as in clinical medicine. His research in medical humanities has produced empirical studies of the sources of ethical perplexity experienced by clinicians; the value of oaths, codes of conduct, the ethical case history in medical education, patients’ attitudes to whole body donation; GPs’ reactions to their ever-growing list of dead patients; the role of narrative thinking in medical practice. His study of medico-legal issues has focused on defining the legal status of clinical guidelines and medical advisory statements (by analysis of evolving UK case law in medical negligence actions), medical error, medico-legal issues in primary health care. Evaluating new and effective care strategies in general practice, he has been a lead researcher on randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.

Methods and Teaching of Motor Activities

Research Areas: Development of original and effective programmes of physical activity and exercise to improve health and wellbeing, social participation, and autonomy of healthy or sick people. In particular: 1. Development of sustainable interventions with exercise, to overcome hypomobility, disability, social isolation, risk of amputation of a limb and death in frail or sick subjects; 2. Identification of circulating or technological biomarkers useful for exercise prescription and evaluation of the physiological effects. Research is based on the application of sustainable doses of physical exercise, the identification of circulating or technological biomarkers to personalize the interventions and evaluate or predict the effects, the study and application of devices facilitating adaptive responses. Outcomes concern life quality, psychological status, functional capacity, reduction of disability, better or greater survival. Students will participate in: 1. qualitative studies on preferences and barriers (physical, cultural, linguistic, gender-related) to physical activity; 2. studies of physical activity and the environment (home, hospital, community, nature, virtual reality); 3. design and validation of questionnaires, devices or multimedia tools; 4. analysis of cost-effectiveness of interventions.
