Biography
- Since 2005, Cinzia Montemurro is a researcher (sector AGR/07) in the faculty of Biotechnological Science, University of Bari. She was graduated with honor in Agricultural Science in 2000 at the University of Bari.
- From 2002 to 2005 she was Ph.D student in "Plant breeding" at the University of Bari.
- Since august 2003 she was "visiting Ph.D student" for seven months, at Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding in Colonia (Germany) working on the "transposons tagging" of wheat.
- In March 2005 she got the Ph. D. degree discussing the thesis: "Molecular characterization of a collection of olive trees and analysis of morphological sterility and self-incompatibility".
Project Participation:
- She took part in some projects like projects financed by the University of Bari (2001-2014); by MIPA (2001); by Apulia Region (2005, 2006, 2008, 2010) and projects by MIUR (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007).
- In 2010 she got a grant by MIPAF for the participation to the project ALISAL (Miglioramento delle proprietà igienico-sanitarie, salutistiche e funzionali di commodity per l'alimentazione dell'uomo e/o degli animali) to perform TILLING analyses on sunflower.
- From 2005 to 2007, she was involved as "Italian Expert" in a Project of International Cooperation, financed by Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs entitled: "Technical Assistance for the Improvement of Quality Olive oil in Syria".
- Since 2010 she is the consultant for molecular biology of the Ministerial Project of Cooperation Italy-Algeria for the certification of plant material in Algeria.
- In 2012 she was the scientific leader of the project REGEROP (Recovery of Apulian olive germplasm) granted by Apulia Region in the framework of PSR 2007-2013.
The results of her research activity have been reported in 35 Articles published in international refereed journals, indexed by SCOPUS, 1 monograph, 4 articles published in Italian refereed journals, 4 chapter of a book and also 17 communications reported in Proceedings of National and International Congresses. The total citation number is 431.
