Antonio Tiberini has a degree in Biology with post-graduate specialization in molecular biology and biotechnology. He obtained his Ph.D. with a dissertation on the development of novel detection methods for diagnosing tomato viruses. From 2015 to 2018, he served as PI in a national project in the frame of the SIR initiative, and in 2020 he joined the Research Centre for Plant Protection and Certification (CREA-DC, Rome, Italy) as a researcher. His main research topics include the development of novel diagnostic methods and techniques for vegetable crops virus identification; evolution and molecular phylogeny studies of vegetable viruses; plant–virus interaction studies and the effects of viral infection on accumulation of primary and secondary metabolites and development of plants; studies evaluating the resistance features in tomato cultivars versus tomato viruses; next-genome sequencing; activities in European Test Performance Studies (TPS), and Proficiency Tests (PT).
