Dr. Leonardo Mancabelli

Laboratory of Probiogenomics, Department of Chemistry, Life Sciences
and Environmental Sustainability, University of Parma, Parma, Italy.

Dr. Leonardo Mancabelli is a PostDoc Research Scientist at the
University of Parma, Italy. Dr. Leonardo Mancabelli received his Ph.D.
in Biotechnology and Life Sciences at the University of Parma, Italy.
Mancabelli’s research focuses on the use of omics techniques, i.e.,
metagenomics, genomics, and transcriptomics, to study the correlations
between the microbiota of different human body compartments and
human diseases, such as of other hosts, including farm animals. In
addition, his research activity includes the study of the biology of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria (Lactic
Acid Bacteria). He is the author or co-author of 91 scientific articles published in journals (H-index of 31,
Scopus), including high-impact journals such as Microbiome, Genome Biology, Nature Communications,
ISME Journal, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, and Cell Host & Microbe.

Dr. Gabriele Andrea Lugli

Laboratory of Probiogenomics, Department of Chemistry, Life Sciences
and Environmental Sustainability, University of Parma, Parma, Italy.
Dr. Gabriele Andrea Lugli is a Senior Postdoctoral Scientist at the
University of Parma, Italy. Dr. Lugli received his Ph.D. in Biotechnology
at the University of Parma. Then, he carried out his postdoctoral
research Communications, ISME Journal, Microbiology, and Molecular
Biology Reviews, and Cell Host & Microbe.work at the Department of
Chemistry, Life Sciences and Sustainability, University of Parma, Parma,
Italy. He won a research grant in the area of “Microbiota-based therapy” and participated as a speaker in
several International Congresses and Conferences in the field of Microbiology. He is an Associate Editor
of BMC Microbiology and Microorganisms. The research interests of Dr. Lugli focus on computational
microbiology applied to complex microbial communities, specifically bifidobacteria. He also explored the
functionality of the microbiome in terms of microbe-host and microbe-microbe cross-talk in humans and
other mammals. He is the author or co-author of 117 scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals,
including high-impact journals such as Microbiome, Genome Biology, Nature Communications, ISME
Journal, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology Reviews, and Cell Host & Microbe.
