Camilla Avanzi

Camilla Avanzi is a Researcher III at the Institute of Biosciences and BioResources (IBBR-CNR) in Florence, Italy. Her work focuses on forest genetics, reproductive dynamics, and conservation of marginal tree populations. She holds a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology (2019) from the University of Ferrara and a Master’s in Ecology and Conservation (2015) from the University of Parma. Her research integrates genetic data with dendrochronology to study tree resilience under environmental pressures.

Key projects include EU-funded initiatives like B4EST and FORGENIUS, focusing on forest genetic resources and climate adaptation. Technical expertise spans field sampling (tree coring, environmental characterization), lab techniques (DNA extraction, PCR), and computational tools (R, genetic analysis software).

Publications emphasize population genetics, gene flow dynamics, and conservation strategies for conifers like Picea and Abies species. She actively participates in national/international projects addressing forest sustainability and biodiversity preservation.
