Laura Pezzolesi, PhD, Associate Professor at BiGeA in general botany, has been working on various aspects of algal biology and ecology. Her research activity mostly concerns the microalgal growth and toxicity, harmful algal blooms dynamics, characterization of microalgal strains for their exploitation in industrial applications or bioremediation, and optimization of bioactive compounds (e.g. PUFAs, carotenoids) production by algal cells, also through growth study in photobioreactors or open ponds. She has been involved in various national and international projects and has collaborations with some European Research organisations or Universities.
