Seminar - Biotechnology and Biosciences - Thursday 5 June 2025, 4:30 pm, BIOS-U3 building, room U3-04
Nicola Tommasi, Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences, University of Milano-Bicocca
Abstract
Biodiversity provides essential benefits for human wellbeing, such as insect-mediated pollination, which supports ecosystem functioning and food security. Yet, global biodiversity is rapidly declining due to human-driven environmental changes, with pollinators following this trend. Within this framework, my research goes beyond species loss to explore how landscape anthropization impacts functional biodiversity, particularly pollinators, at ecological, physiological, and molecular levels. Through a multidisciplinary approach involving DNA-based identification, morphometrics, and multi-omics tools (mRNA/WGS and LC-MS), I aim to evaluate these human-mediated impacts and develop novel biomarkers to assess biodiversity health and guide effective conservation strategies. This integrative approach helps redefine how we study and protect biodiversity in the Anthropocene.
The seminar is OPEN to all.
ONLINE REGISTRATION for the seminar is a mandatory requirement for those who wish to request the CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE, which, together with the signature on the ATTENDANCE SHEET, will confirm actual participation.
The seminar's online registration will be available a few days before the event.
