Luisa GHELARDINI

Curriculum

Luisa Ghelardini ha conseguito la laurea quinquennale in Scienze Forestali nel 2003 all'Università di Firenze. Nel Marzo 2008 ha conseguito il titolo di Doctor of Phylosophy (PhD) in Plant Biology presso la Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) a Uppsala (Svezia). Dal 2003 al 2008 ha svolto attività di ricerca in Patologia forestale presso l'Istituto per la Protezione Sostenibile delle Piante (IPSP) del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. Dal 2008 al 2011 ha lavorato come ricercatore a contratto presso la SLU studiando le basi ecofisiologiche e genetiche della resistenza a stress biotici e abiotici nelle piante arboree. Ha insegnato nei corsi di Master in Plant Biology della stessa Università. Dal 2012 al 2016 ha lavorato come ricercatore a contratto presso l'IPSP-CNR occupandosi di ecologia di patogeni invasivi negli ambienti forestali e dello sviluppo di tecniche di molecolari per la diagnosi precoce e lo studio di patogeni vegetali criptici in pianta e nell'ambiente (qPCR, LAMP, NGS). Ha lunga esperienza in analisi statistiche e restituzione di dati complessi, con vari ambienti di calcolo, strumenti bioinformatici e utilità grafiche. Dal Novembre 2016 a Settembre 2024 è stata ricercatrice a tempo determinato in Patologia vegetale presso il Dipartimento di Scienze delle Produzioni Alimentari e dell'Ambiente (DAGRI) dell'Università di Firenze, dove ha insegnato in Corsi di Laurea Trienneale e Magistrale della Scuola di Agraria e della Scuola di Architettura oltre che nel Dottorato in Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali. Da Ottobre 2025 è professoressa associata in Patologia vegetale presso il DAGRI. Ha collaborato a numerosi progetti di ricerca nazionali e internazionali, tra cui FORTHREATS, The European network on emerging diseases and invasive species threats to European Forest ecosystems, Funded under 6th FWP (Sixth Framework Programme) 2007-2009; ISEFOR Increasing Sustainability of European Forests: Modelling for Security Against Invasive Pests and Pathogens under Climate Change (European Union Seventh Framework Programme FP7 2007-2013); FRAXBACK Fraxinus dieback in Europe: elaborating guidelines and strategies for sustainable management FPS COST Action FP1103, 2012-2016; HOMED Holistic Management of Emerging Forest Pests and Diseases, European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, 2028-2022; Urban Tree Guard Safeguarding European urban trees and forests through improved biosecurity, COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action 20132, 2021-2025. Ha partecipato alle attività del National Biodiversity Future Centre (NBFC), il primo Centro Nazionale di Ricerca e Innovazione dedicato alla biodiversità, finanziato dal Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca (MUR) attraverso i fondi dell’Unione Europea – NextGenerationEU. Ha coordinato le attività dell’unità di ricerca dell’Università di Firenze nell’ambito del progetto PRIN PNRR SAVEASH (SAVE the Apennine aSh from Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, 2024-2026), anch’esso finanziato dal Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca (MUR) attraverso i fondi NextGenerationEU. Collabora con il Servizio Fitosanitario della Regione Toscana alle attività di protezione degli ecositemi agrari e forestali dai patogeni invasivi delle piante e dalle malattie emergenti. Svolge regolare attività di peer-review in varie riviste scientifiche internazionali. È Editor per la sezione Patologia forestale della rivista Phytopathologia Mediterranea della Mediterranean Phytopathological Union.

Curriculum

Luisa Ghelardini, Female, PhD in Plant Biology with specialization in Forest Genetics (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), serves as a Associate Professor at DAGRI-UNIFI. Luisa has been studying the genetic background of the response to biotic and abiotic stress factor in trees. Luisa's current research interests include modeling of tree response to infection as a function of plant phenology and growth cycle; studying the effect of environmental changes on the life cycles of pathogens and host plants, and their interplay; modeling of invasion of new geographic areas by non native plant pathogens including the combined effect of pathogen's traits and environmental factors. Luisa also works on developing high-tech detection tools for early diagnosis and in planta study of emerging plant pathogens. Her research interests include measures and strategies aimed at the conservation of historic gardens and landscapes, and protection against invasive harmful organisms. She has collaborated to several projects and research actions on invasive pathogens of trees funded by the EU including RES-GEN 96-78 Co-ordination for conservation, characterization, collection and utilization of genetic resources of European Elms; FORTHREATS The European network on emerging diseases and invasive species threats to European Forest ecosystems; ISEFOR Increasing Sustainability of European Forests: Modelling for Security Against Invasive Pests and Pathogens under Climate Change; FRAXBACK Fraxinus dieback in Europe: elaborating guidelines and strategies for sustainable management; PINESTRENGTH Pine pitch canker - strategies for management of Gibberella Circinata in greenhouses and forests: HOMED Holistic Management of Emerging Forest Pests and Diseases; URBAN3GUARD Safeguarding European urban trees and forests through improved biosecurity. Luisa took part in the activities of the National Biodiversity Future Centre (NBFC), the first National Research and Innovation Centre dedicated to biodiversity, funded by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) through European Union funds – NextGenerationEU. She coordinated the activities of the University of Florence’s research unit for the PRIN PNRR SAVEASH project (‘SAVE the Apennine aSh from Hymenoscyphus fraxineus’, 2024-2026), also funded by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) through European Union funds – NextGenerationEU. She collaborates with the Tuscany Regional Phytosanitary Service on initiatives to protect agricultural and forest ecosystems from invasive plant pathogens and emerging diseases. She regularly carries out peer reviews for various international scientific journals. She is an editor for the Forest Pathology section of the journal Phytopathologia Mediterranea, published by Firenze University Press on behalf of the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union.
