Sordo Maddalena

During her master science thesis, she studied Analogues of Resistance Genes in Apple. She has dealt with genetic characterization of different plant species (apple, grapes, strawberry, raspberry, currant) and yeasts through the use of molecular markers (SSCP, CAPS, SSR, SNP, SnaPshot, RFLP, SCAR, RAPD, HRM). She also performed analysis of gene expression in plant species and quantifications with the aid of Real -Time techniques in plant substrates, environmental and animal samples. She worked on clinical studies on intestinal microbiota connected to diet and autoimmune diseases, using Real Time techniques and Next Generation Sequencing. She also worked in microbiology lab, to perform bacterial counts on milk and dairy products.

She is currently involved in medicinal plants, from genotyping to the study of gene expression of genes involved in secondary metabolism and collaborates in the in vitro micropropagation of tree and herbaceous species.
She does internal management to the laboratory of issues related to security- disposal waste management, purchase orders, training of trainees/ undergraduates.
