Gianfranco Romanazzi

Marche Polytechnic University, Ancona, Italy

Gianfranco Romanazzi is a full professor in Plant Pathology at Marche Polytechnic University, who has a degree in Agricultural Sciences (1995) and a PhD in Crop Protection (1999) at the University of Bari. He is interested in sustainable approaches for plantprotection, along with detecting, monitoring, and characterising plant pathogens. For 30 years, he has investigated the effectiveness of chitosan in plant protection and the involvedmechanisms of action. Prof. Romanazzi coordinates a list of national and international projects, including PRIMA“Innovative Sustainable technologies TO extend the shelf-life of Perishable MEDiterraneanfresh fruit, vegetables and aromatic plants and to reduce WASTE – StopMedWaste”, MAECIItaly-China “Biosynthesis regulation of metabolic markers and correlation with quality safetyduring fruit Decay” (BioQuaSa), the Euphresco Network “Basic substances as anenvironmentally friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides for plant protection (BasicS)”, and the COST FA22134 Action “Sustainable Network for agrofood loss and waste prevention, management, quantification and valorisation (FoodWaStop)”. He is in the Author of 177 publications indexed in Scopus database (over 7000 citations and h-index of 48).
