HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-FARM2FORK-07 / Scaling Up Microbiome-Based Innovations for Safe, Sustainable and Competitive European Food Systems

We seek research and industrial partners to develop, validate and commercialize microbiome-based solutions for sustainable food production and processing. The proposed initiative will combine microbiome characterization, functional validation, industrial demonstrations, scalable production, regulatory assessment and market-oriented business models.

My research expertise focuses on molecular microbiology, food and seafood quality and safety, microbial ecology, antimicrobial resistance, and the application of advanced omics technologies, including genomics, metagenomics, metataxonomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics.

My work integrates conventional microbiology, molecular approaches, predictive microbiology and microbiological risk assessment to investigate microbial hazards, contamination pathways, spoilage mechanisms and microbial interactions across aquatic and other food systems.
