Manuela Coci

Researcher

Researcher at CNR-IRBIM in Ancona with a strong international academic background, she holds a Master’s degree in Marine Biology from the Universities of Catania and Cádiz, a PhD in Microbial Ecology from the KNAW-NIOO Centre for Limnology in Utrecht, and an Advanced Master in Contaminated Site Remediation from the University of Parma. Her research fields includes positions at the University of Catania and CNR institutes in Messina and Verbania, alongside over a decade of private and public sector experience in international science communication, agency consulting (such as ISPRA and Abruzzo Region), and co-founding a non-profit and an innovative water quality startup. Rejoining CNR-IRBIM in 2023, her current research focuses on aquatic microbiology and microbial ecology, specifically targeting marine prokaryote diversity via omics, biobank and observation portal management, anthropogenic microbial contamination, and the genotypic and phenotypic characterization of antibiotic resistance in natural and artificial aquatic environments.

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.
