Welcome to my personal page.

My name is Riccardo Baroncelli and I’m a postdoctoral researcher in the fungal bioinformatics, genomics and molecular biology research group led by Michael Thon and Serenella Sukno (http://fgblab.org/). The groups is part of the Genetics group at CIALE (Instituto Hispano-Luso de Investigaciones Agrarias), University of Salamanca (Spain).
We study various aspects of plant pathology, genetics and plant-fungus interactions, using Colletotrichum as a model system. More information about our research lines can be found here: http://fgblab.org/research/

The areas more attractive to me are those related to comparative ‘omics applied to evolutionary relationship and host\pathogen interaction.

Current Official Research Projects.

• Colletotrichum lupini diversity, host specialization and evolution; as part of the eip-agri agriculture and innovation project “Prograilive” (Project info)
• Evolution and adaptation of carbohydrate utilization in the Colletotrichum acutatum species complex; Community Science Program (CSP) – DOE Joint Genome Institute (Project info)
• Unveiling the association of Colletotrichum species with soybean anthracnose using histological, populational and genomic approaches. Research Supported by São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP – Project info)
