CeRSA 70 researchers of international level, more than 20 coming from abroad, work within CeRSA, the Center for Research and Study in Agriculture and Food of PTP. CeRSA activities are mainly focused on innovative genomic research to obtain healthy crops and animals and to produce tools to be used in food safety and treaceability.
Animal Sciences Animal Sciences section of CeRSA is divided into three research groups: IDRA-Lab (group leader: John Williams), Integrative Biology (group leader: Sara Botti) and Functional Genomics (group leader: Paola Mariani). The main research projects are focused on bovine, goat and sheep, swine, poultry and fish.
Plant Sciences
Two research groups at CeRSA work on the study of plant production: Plant Genomics (group leader: Laura Rossini) and Rice Genomics (group leader Pietro Piffanelli). The main active projects are focused on barley, vine and peach, as well as rice diversity and pathologies.
Technology Platforms Innovation, automation and quality of the services are the main features of the technology platforms run by the international level staff of PTP. The Plaforms merge together the "omics" technologies (genomics, proteomics and metabolomics) with bioinformatic and a more traditional chemical approach.
