• University: University of Trieste
• Department: Environmental Biology
• Academic Role: Associate Professor

Her research focuses on environmental microbiology and molecular genetics, particularly in bacterial interactions within biofilms and ecological systems. She is involved in key projects such as IBIZA (Iron-Binding organic ligands in Antarctic marine environments) and VirHoX (virus-host associations via ribosome mapping). She also contributes to initiatives like iNEST (Nord-East innovation ecosystem) and SAVEMAR (marine resource valorization).

Her work addresses critical areas in marine microbial ecology and environmental science, with a focus on interdisciplinary collaborations. Active projects include studies of biofilm dynamics, planktonic microbial interactions, and biotechnological applications in marine environments.
