Professional profile
Anna Granato is a senior biologist at the SCS3 – Ecosystems Unit of the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSVe).
She graduated in Biological Sciences from the University of Padua in 1991. At the same University, she earned her PhD in Clinical Pathophysiology in 1998 and completed her postgraduate specialization in Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology in 2004. Until 2005, she conducted research at the Institute of Internal Medicine and the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences at the Padua University Hospital.
In the field of animal spongiform encephalopathies, her work focuses on the diagnosis of BSE and scrapie, the genotyping of the ovine prion protein to assess scrapie susceptibility, and the biomolecular analysis of animal-derived constituents in feed and raw materials for aquaculture. Furthermore, her diagnostic and research activities center on developing and applying novel biomolecular methods for diagnosing infectious diseases of veterinary interest—particularly in apiculture, focusing on honey bee diseases and hive pests and parasites. In veterinary oncology, her research is directed towards investigating and identifying prognostic biomarkers in canine neoplastic disease.
She is involved in scientific research projects funded by the Italian Ministry of Health. She collaborates with the Department of Comparative Biomedicine and Food Science at the University of Padua on studying prognostic biomarkers in canine neoplastic disease and characterizing specific honey bee pests and parasites.
