Professional profile

Federica Gobbo is an executive veterinarian at the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie – SCS6 – Experimental Virology. She graduated in Veterinary medicine at the University of Padua (2006) and she attended a post-graduate school in Hygiene, farming and diseases in aquaculture (degree in 2010).

From 2007 to 2009 she worked at the National reference laboratory for fish diseases / WOAH reference laboratory for viral encephalopathy and retinopathy of marine fish, where she dealt with international and national research in diagnosis of viral diseases of fish farming. During 2009-2015, she worked at the Diagnostic service of Padua (SCT3 Padova and Rovigo), working in animal and public health, and dealing with pathology and diagnosis of animal infectious disease and zoonosis. Until 2018 she was employed at the Avian Medicine Laboratory (SCT1 Verona and Vicenza) and Mycoplasmas Unit, working on avian pathology and mycoplasmology of veterinary interest.

Currently she works mainly on diagnosis of infectious disease of poultry (pathology and microbiology) and on animal mycoplasmology (microbiology and molecular biology). She also deals with AST (Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test) applied to mycoplasmas and in detail phenotypic characterization of drug susceptibility and/or resistance in veterinarian mycoplasma species via M.I.C (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration). Moreover, she has been involved in both national and international research and collaboration projects.

She is author and co-author of almost 100 scientific publications including peer-reviewed articles, and proceedings of national and international conferences.
