Keywords: Molecular Biology droplet digital PCR obligate parasites early detection of plant pathogens fungicides resistance and related mutations fungicide mode of action - drug target interaction ecology and epidemiology of plant pathogens Conservation Detection Dogs (CDDs)

The main research topics focus on the activity of chemical and natural compounds towards fungal pathogens, studying in depth the mechanisms of action (MoA), mechanisms of resistance (MoR) and the interaction with different class of inhibitors.

Identification of SNPs mutation conferring fungicide resistance.

Biocomputational and structural biology techniques to study a key enzyme cellulose synthase for the vital process of plant and animals pathogenic oomycetes.

Using of SEM and TEM microscopy to assess the action of active ingredients at the ultrastructural level
