In 2009 I obtained my M.Sc in Biotechnology for Veterinary Activities at University of Naples "Federico II", Italy. My PhD in Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Technical University of Lisbon (Portugal), University of Veterinary Medicine was completed in 2015 under the supervision of Dr. Carlos Fontes. My PhD project was 'WallTraC Marie Curie Initial Training Network' and the focus of this work was the structure and function of novel CAZymes and CBMs involved in Plant Cell Wall degradation [User:Immacolata Venditto#bibkey_PMID23229556|1]. I’m currently a PostDoc mentored by Prof. Harry Gilbert at University of Newcastle, UK. My research is focused on the microbial degradation and utilization of complex pectins by Bacteroides in the human intestine (4).
