Francesca Falco

Researcher

Francesca Falco is an Italian researcher at the Institute for Marine Biological Resources and Biotechnology (IRBIM) of the National Research Council in Mazara del Vallo, Italy. Her research interests lie in the fields of ecotoxicology and ecophysiology: she studies how to anticipate the adaptive responses of aquatic organisms and ecosystems to environmental changes caused by climate change and anthropogenic factors. Her research focuses on analyzing the impact of environmental and anthropogenic factors such as microplastics, heavy metals, emerging contaminants, and climate change on the physiological and metabolic state of key biological processes in marine organisms. These studies have been conducted in collaboration with various national and international scientific institutions. She has published numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. With her experience, she has served as a reviewer for several physiology and toxicology journals.

Research Projects

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
