Say hi to our team

Claudio is the Head of the Computational Biology Unit of the Research and Innovation Centre of the Fondazione Edmund Mach. After a PhD in Physics he has worked on bacterial comparative genomics, pathogen epidemiology and bacterial antigen discovery. His current research activity includes the use of metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial diversity in environmental and host-associated samples.

Diego is a Computational Biologist specialized in plant, currently serving as a Researcher at the Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM) in Trento, Italy, since 2016. His research focuses on the analysis of whole-genome sequencing data for de novo assembly and variant discovery, and developing molecular markers for QTL mapping, population genomics, and association mapping. He is contributing to the development of pipelines for filtering high-throughput genotyping data and analyzing sequences from MinION and Illumina platforms. Before my current role, Diego was a Postdoctoral Researcher at IRTA in Spain (2011–2013) for the Fruitbreedomics project, where I performed QTL mapping and GWAS in Peach. He hold a PhD (2008–2011) from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (2011), and a Master's degree from the University of Padua (2007).
