Research fellowship at @unito | I deal with the management, rearing, breeding, and health of bees, with a focus on ecotoxicological aspects.
Yesterday, with the BeeLab (UniTo – DISAFA), I took part in the European Researchers’ Night with The (Un)known World of Bees. 🐝
We shared insights on the 20,000+ bee species, their crucial role in pollination, and the threats they face from human-induced stresses.

I attended the national conference #AISASP2025 in Bologna, presenting the poster “Bees and two-dimensional nanomaterials: risk assessment of an emerging contaminant”. 🐝
This project, in collaboration with UniTo, UniTS and UniBo, explores the impact of nanomaterials on pollinator health.

Thrilled to share a paper I co-authored with CREA and the University of Molise! We studied Papiliotrema terrestris (PT22AV, YSY®) as a strawberry biocontrol. It reduces disease and is pollinator-friendly—boosting honeybee visits. Promising for sustainable farming!
