Biography

Cristiano Garino joined the group of Food Chemistry in the Department of Drug Sciences of the University of Piemonte Orientale in 2005, and completed his PhD in Pharmaceutical and Food Biotechnologies in 2009. As postdoc, his main responsibilities are laboratory research and training of undergraduate students. Activities relates to the food molecular biology field (protein, RNA and DNA isolation, PCR and qPCR, production of recombinant proteins). Research Projects pointed towards the detection and characterization of hidden allergens and/or contaminants in foods, and to the protection of local food products through the setting up of molecular methods for the traceability/authenticity.
