MARCHINI DANIELA

I am interested in the biology of insect reproduction, with a morpho-functional and biochemical approach, particularly sperm transfer/storage and the secretion of accessory reproductive glands. One of my lines of research concerns antimicrobial peptides related to animal reproduction. Graduated in Biology (1986), PhD (1990) and postdoctoral (1991) in Animal Biology at the University of Siena. Visiting scientist (1988-1992) at the Department of Human Genetics, State University, Leiden (NL). Assistant professor at University of Siena since 1991 (Comparative Anatomy and Cytology), I have been qualified as Associate Professor in Zoology (2014). Since 2014 I have been Delegated to the Orientation program of the Department of Life Sciences and Referent, for the University of Siena, of the National Plan for Scientific Degrees Biology and Biotechnology. Since 2012 I have been involved in the incoming and ongoing training of secondary school science teachers (Active Training Internship, Special Enabling Paths, 24 CFU Training Path, Training / Updating Courses).
