Sepideh Hosseiniporgham is a PhD graduate in Life Science and Biotechnology at the University of Sassari, in Italy. Her work focuses on comparing the efficiency of various diagnostic (molecular, immunological and nanotechnological) approaches in detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in sheep milk, sera and tissue samples. She also investigated on the detection of mycobacterium spp. in other sources of samples such as human, bovine, camel, shell (Pinna nobilis), etc. Discovering novel MAP diagnostic and therapeutic assays, both for human and animal associated diseases, are her favorite research areas. However, she welcomes experiencing other new challenges relevant to her background (Microbiology & Biotechnology) as well.

The title of my Master's thesis was "An investigation about the antimicrobial impacts of probiotic chocolates on eliminating dental plaque microorganisms". So, I worked on developing three different probiotic chocolates with three different strains of probiotic bacteria including L. Rhamnosus, L. Plantarum and L. Acidophilus. Eventually, the antimicrobial impacts of these probiotic bacteria, in isolation and within dark chocolate, on inhibition of S. mutans were assessed.
