Curriculum Vitae di Silvio Salvi (email: silvio.salvi@unibo.it)

Silvio Salvi si è laureato in Biologia presso la Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche Fisiche e Naturali dell'Università di Bologna nel 1992. Presso la stessa Università ha ottenuto il Dottorato in Biotecnologie Cellulari e Molecolari nel 1999. Ha lavorato come visiting scientist presso il John Innes Centre - Norwich, UK (analisi di sintenia nei cereali) e presso il Dept of Agronomy e Plant Breeding dell'University of Minnesota, St Paul, USA (analisi QTL in mais). Nel 2003 è ricercatore e dal 2014 è professore associato presso l'Area di Miglioramento Genetico delle Piante del Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie (DipSA), Scuola di Agraria e Veterinaria, Università di Bologna. Presso il DipSA si occupa dello studio del controllo genetico dei caratteri quantitativi (principalmente in mais, orzo e frumento duro), di clonaggio di geni e di QTL di interesse agronomico e nel miglioramento genetico, e della gestione ed utilizzo di una collezione di mutanti di orzo (popolazione TILLING TILLMore). L'attività didattica riguarda l'insegnamento della Genetica Agraria nei corsi della Scuola di Agraria e Veterinaria.
