Gabriele Frascaroli is working at Glasgow Caledonian University, under the supervision of Ania Escudero, on a green solution to reduce harmful antibiotics in wastewater by using microalgae as part of the ongoing management of antimicrobial resistance. He completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees (supervisor Massimo Maffei) at the University of Turin, Italy. He learned how to extract DNA and RNA and analyse them through electrophoretic techniques, PCR, RT-qPCR, how to apply spectrophotometry, GC-MS, GC-FID and HPLC techniques to analyse different algal metabolites. Lastly, he knows how to perform simplified sequence assembly, SNP mining, RNA-seq and clustering analysis.
