I am a veterinarian specialized in animal reproduction, with a PhD in Animal Health and Zoonoses. At the beginning of my career, my scientific work focused primarily on analgesia and pain management during surgical procedures in breeding animals. Over time, my research interests expanded, and I am now working to integrate my expertise in reproductive medicine with a growing interest in the microbial communities that colonize different animal biological districts. My current research explores how these microbiomes interact with neonatal development and reproductive efficiency, with the goal of improving animal health, welfare, and reproductive outcomes. Through this interdisciplinary approach, I aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between host physiology, microbial ecosystems, and reproductive performance.
