Camilla is postdoctoral researchers in the Laboratory of Genetics at the University of Florence.
She graduated in Biotechnology with full marks and honors at University of Florence. During her master degree she performed a research experience in the Department of Clinical Physiopathology University of Florence, under the supervision of Prof. Michaela Luconi. Her bachelor degree internship has been carried out in the Laboratory of Genetics at the University, under the supervision of Prof. Renato Fani.
She did her PhD in co-tutoring with George diCenzo on microbial ecology and genomic evolution in rhizobia, with special interest in Sinorhizobium meliloti and its close relatives. During her PhD she also focused on the study of microbiomes, from both clinical and environmental samples.
She has worked as postdoctoral researcher on the PRIMA Foundation LEGU-MED research project and ALL-IN research project (ERA-NET SusCrop), both aimed to develop genome-based solutions for optimizing rhizobial strain selection in bioinoculant formulations for sustainable agriculture improvement.
Now she is postdoctoral researcher within the National Biodiversity Future Centre) for investigating the biodiversity and ecological genetics aspects of plant-associated microbiota.
