Research activities are mainly focused on the following topics:
- Identification and genomic characterization of foodborne pathogens along the farm to fork chain
- Use of larvae of Galleria mellonella as in vivo infection model for the evaluation of the pathogenicity potential of foodborne bacteria
- Molecular basis of antimicrobial resistance and evaluation of strategies for the reduction of antimicrobial use in poultry
- Growth and survival of foodborne pathogens in food of animal origin
- Effects of innovative technologies on the growth and survival of foodborne pathogens in food
- Persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in food processing plants
