"I have a strong passion for food and nutrition in all its aspects, with a particular interest in food microbiology. I’m especially drawn to exploring how microbial systems can be harnessed to improve food safety, promote sustainability, and support healthier, more natural food production," Chiara Pisana.
About the mobility grant visit
Hosting Institution: Department of Food Microbiology, Meat Technology and Chemistry, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Olsztyn, Poland
From October 2025 to December 2025
Proposed Project during Mobility visit:
Sustainable and innovative biocontrol systems to improve fresh cheeses safety through bacteriophages and postbiotics.
The idea behind this project is to make food safer and free from chemical preservatives.
By offering a natural alternative to synthetic preservatives and plastic, we can help reduce waste, support organic food production, and move towards a more circular and sustainable food system.
