Genomic evolution of bacterial symbionts of eukaryotes
Hello, I am Luca, and I graduated with a master’s degree in experimental and applied biology from the university of Pavia in April 2024. My work is generally based on the evolution and genomics of symbiotic bacteria of eukaryotes and is performed completely in silico. My main project is based on studying the evolution of membrane proteins of bacteria of the genus Rickettsia, with also a part of structural biology to investigate the interaction of these proteins with the host. I am also included in the study of other bacterial symbiont of arthropods and the characterization of their metabolism.
