Giuseppe Mannino, a 2015 graduate in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology, with a PhD in Pharmaceutical and Biomolecular Sciences since 2018, joined the University of Turin's Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology in 2022 as a Type A Researcher. During his PhD, he conducted an apprenticeship contract with a company producing standardized plant extracts, working on extractive and molecular techniques for plant bioactive compounds. His research activity focuses on the chemical and molecular characterization of plant bioactive molecules, with particular emphasis on metabolomic and genomic analysis, and on the search for natural compounds exerting biological actions. Metabolomic analysis is performed using gas and liquid chromatographic techniques coupled with mass spectrometry, while genomic investigation employs both DNA molecular fingerprinting and RNA deep sequencing techniques for transcriptomic and gene ontology analysis, carried out mainly on plants of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical interest.
Well done!
