Matilde d'Angelo

Matilde D'Angelo obtained her Licensure degree in Biotechnology in 2009 at Biochemistry and Pharmacy Faculty, National University of Rosario (FBIOyF-UNR) and did her first degree thesis in lipid metabolism in Streptomyces. In 2010 she earned a Fellowship of The National Research Council of Argentina (CONICET) to do a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences at Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Rosario IBR-CONICET to work in metabolism of tomato varieties with contrasting organoleptic properties. After the PhD, Matilde obtained a CONICET fellowship to do a Postdoctoral formation at Rosario Chemistry Institute IQUIR-CONICET to work in Amino acids and organic acids metabolism reactions in industrial lactic bacteria. Since 2012, she works in the Department of Microbiology of FBIOyF-UNR as First category Professor.

In 2018 Matilde joined Dr. Susana Martín Orúe and Dr. José Francisco Pérez-Hernández lab to work in Animal Health.

Matilde is working in a multidisciplinary project that intends to verify if providing sows an adequate interaction with their environment during the perinatal period could generates positive scenarios for a correct microbial colonization and epigenomic programming. She is focused on metabolomics and intestinal gene expression changes experimented by sows exposed at new in-feed additives, specifically pre and probiotics.
