MASTITOMIC HAS STARTED!
MASTITOMIC is our new project in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences of the University of Bologna. In this project we aim to study the evolution of the mammary microbiome and its interaction with the host in healthy and infected animals. We will investigate how the microbiome and genetic and environmental factors influence the development of disease, with the aim of discovering early indicators of mastitis, contributing to more effective prevention strategies and reducing antibiotic dependency in the dairy sector.
We are happy to announce that Prof. Alessio Cecchinato, together with Prof. Filippo Miglior, has joined the JDS club 100 , which recognizes individuals who have authored or coauthored 100 or more papers in ADSA's journals: JDS and JDS Communicatios.
We are glad to announce that two memebers of our team have won the ASPA young researcher competition- Best Oral Presentation.
The winners are:
Alice Vanzin: "Mass Spectrometry-based characterization of the bovine milk peptidome upon Streptococcus agalactiae and Prototheca spp. infection"
Vittoria Bisutti: "Transcriptomic and phenomic data integration to identify markers of subclinical mastitis in Holstein cattle"
Alice and Vittoria will recieve the free registration to the 75th Congress EAAP in Florence and a financial support for the other costs related to the congress.
See you in Florence!
