research in plant virology and molecular biology, ranging from applied research and the
development of diagnostic methods for phytosanitary services, bioinformatics and the application of
the latest software for genetic analyses, to fundamental research for the study of the interaction of
macromolecules, and nanotechnological applications in diagnostics and imaging. Supervision of
post-doc and student researchers. Writing of scientific manuscripts. Grantwriting, Principal
investigator. Teaching. Committees.
Position: ‘Staff Scientist’- co-principal investigator, manager, supervisor and researcher (virus
recombination, transgenic resistance and GM biosafety). 30% administration, 30% wet-lab work,
25% research supervision, 15% outreach.
Research and managerial support to an outstation of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering
and Biotechnology (ICGEB) (A United Nations Organization). Principle aim of the research was to
develop methods for the introduction of virus resistance (mainly by transgenesis) into cultivated
crops while at the same time assessing the potential hazards such crops pose. Improved transferral
of this knowledge and technology was aimed specifically at developing countries. This was set-up as
a five-year UN project. A further five year extension was anticipated prior to the 2008 financial crisis;
80% of our funding came from a banking foundation (Fondazione Cassamarca-UniCredit Group).
