Developed skills and lines of research

Daniela Ghisotti graduated in 1974 with a degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Milan. Since 1985, she has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Biosciences at the University of Milan.

Her research is primarily in microbiology, with a focus on the molecular genetics of Escherichia coli. In recent years, her scientific interests have expanded to include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, yielding notable results. She has authored over 45 publications in peer-reviewed international journals, three book chapters (in international volumes), and two international patents.

Her first project with the Italian Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation was funded in 2015 and focuses on phage therapy to combat Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis patients.
