ELECTED BOARD MEMBER
GIOVANNA ROMANO Giovanna Romano is senior researcher at of the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, in the Eco-sustainable Marine Biotechnology department (www.szn.it). She graduated in Biological Sciences at the University of Naples Federico II, summa cum laude. Scholarship holder in Biochemistry for six years and subsequently permanent researcher at the SZN. The major focus of her past research activities was the effects and mechanisms of action of bioactive secondary metabolites from marine diatoms using different in vitro and in vivo model systems. She was involved in several Italian and EU projects focusing on drug discovery from marine microalgae and she coordinated a bilateral project Italy-South Africa aiming at identifying new biosynthetic pathways for valuable compounds in diatoms, though a genome-mining approach. Current research interest is the identification and exploitation of diatom-derived natural compounds for the development of new products for pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical and nutraceutical applications, with a special attention on the study of pathways involved in the biosynthesis of valuable molecules. Dr. Romano is partner in the SZN-CNR spin-off company BioSEArch srl, founded in 2016 for the development of new pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical compounds from marine microalgae. https://www.biosearchsrl.com/ |

ELECTED STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
ELEONORA CURCURACI Eleonora is currently enrolled as a PhD student at the University of Palermo (Department of Earth and Marine Sciences, DISTEM), in the Laboratory of Marine Biochemistry and Ecotoxicology of Trapani (Italy) under the supervision of Doctor Andrea Santulli and Doctor Concetta Maria Messina, in collaboration with the Laboratoire des Sciences de l’Environment Marin (LEMAR), supervised by Professor Claire Hellio (Université de Bretagne Occidentale, France) as foreign tutor of the PhD project entitled: “Production of high value-added nutraceuticals in a multitrophic aquaculture system within a closed-circuit marine hatchery (NUTRAQUA)”. The main objective of the NUTRAQUA project is to combine aquaculture and biotechnology through the extraction and the characterisation of bioactive compounds, obtained from extractives species associated to fish, and their potential utilisation in nutraceutical field. publisher's representative
