Professor Silvia Perotto is affiliated with the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology at the University of Turin. Her work centers on plant-microorganism interactions, particularly mycorrhizal symbiosis, with applications in sustainable agriculture and environmental remediation.
- Academic Roles: Vice-Director for Teaching, PhD Program Coordinator in Biological Sciences and Applied Biotechnologies, and member of the AQ Working Group.
- Research Projects: Leading the PRIN 2022 project on plant biotic interactions under climate change.
Her research explores cellular and molecular mechanisms in symbiotic relationships, focusing on Ericaceae and Orchidaceae species. She investigates how symbiotic fungi protect plants from heavy metals and contribute to biodiversity.
Professor Perotto collaborates with research groups including Biology of Mycorrhizal Interactions and Ecology of Fungi. Her work bridges fundamental and applied science, targeting environmental restoration and agronomic innovation.
Additional responsibilities include chairing academic committees and teaching courses in plant biology, genetics, and biotic interactions.
