Vittorio Giorgio Senatore

Dr. Vittorio Giorgio Senatore is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences at University of Milano-Bicocca, actively contributing to yeast biotechnology research. His work bridges fundamental molecular biology with applied waste valorization strategies.

Dr. Senatore's research focuses on yeast metabolic engineering for sustainable applications, particularly:

• Developing CRISPR-based genome editing tools for Saccharomyces cerevisiae (pCEC-red vector system)
• Engineering yeast strains for PET monomer upcycling and agricultural waste valorization
• Optimizing ethylene glycol conversion into valuable chemicals like glycolic acid
• Producing vitamin B9 using Scheffersomyces stipitis on residual biomasses

Analysis of recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a strategic progression from tool development to applied bioprocess engineering, with increasing emphasis on circular economy solutions. His work demonstrates strong technical competence in molecular biology combined with process engineering considerations.

Dr. Senatore maintains an active research program with consistent publication output, showing particular strength in:

• CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing methodology
• Non-conventional yeast physiology
• Metabolic pathway analysis
• Bioprocess development for waste conversion

His collaborative network spans multiple European institutions, reflecting active engagement in the international research community. The teaching publication on synthetic biology laboratory courses indicates commitment to graduate education in industrial biotechnology.
