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:
- intestinal microbiota and human health
- probiotic bacteria
- intestinal microbiota
- microbe host interaction
- molecular microbiolgy
- genetic of microorganisms
- prebiotic
- molecular phylogenesis for the characterization of complex bacterial communities
- microbial ecology
Marco Candela's Problem Solving Experience:
- I developed a new real time PCR based technique to measure the bacterial adhesion to host tissues.
- 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.
- 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.
