In 2018 he moved to the Netherlands to complete a PhD in the Molecular Genetics department at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. There, he studied the interplay between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and human gut microbiota. Particularly, he was involved in the discovery of novel antimicrobial peptides with targeted activity against MASLD bacterial drivers, as well as in the identification of bacterial strains able to diminish gut permeability, gut inflammation and liver fat accumulation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Currently he is enrolled at SymbioMatch as a Molecular Microbiologist where he will transfer his knowledge in gut microbiota to plant microbiota, in order to identify soil bacteria useful as novel biofertilisers to improve crop production.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"tmm_scblock\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":43,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-no-title","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-345","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/345\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":366,"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/345\/revisions\/366"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/symbiomatch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
