Research Project

Analysis of genetic variability in human populations
The research activity of my PhD will focus on the characterization human populations mainly through the analysis of uniparental markers.
In particular, during the first year: (1) I will study of the Y chromosome variation in American populations; (2) I will analyse the variability of main genes involved in taste perception (in collaboration with the group of Prof. Ranzani).
