Problem Solver

Marco Candela

Areas Marco Candela is Knowledgeable in:

microbiology of the human gastrointestinal tract; probiotic microorganisms and prebiotics; microbe host interaction and intestinal microbiota and human health

Techniques Marco Candela Uses:

In problem solving I always start from a solid literature research to create a strong base to develop new ideas. I put a grate attention is the selection of my collaborators and the coordination of their work.

Marco Candela's Problem Solving Skills:

  1. intestinal microbiota and human health
  2. probiotic bacteria
  3. intestinal microbiota
  4. microbe host interaction
  5. molecular microbiolgy
  6. genetic of microorganisms
  7. prebiotic
  8. molecular phylogenesis for the characterization of complex bacterial communities
  9. microbial ecology

Marco Candela's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. I developed a new real time PCR based technique to measure the bacterial adhesion to host tissues.
  2. I was the coordinator of a research group that developed a new MALDI-TOF based technique to measure the interaction between microorganisms and target molecules.
  3. I was the coordinator of a research group that developed two universal DNA-microarray platforms: one for an easy and reliable characterization of the human intestinal microbiota, the second for a reliable and rapid detection of harmful vibrio species and their toxins genes in seafood.
