Professional profile
Eva Mazzetto is a senior veterinary officer at the SSD3S Translational Research and Experimental Models Unit of the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSVe).
She obtained her degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Padua in 2015. In 2019, she completed her postgraduate specialization in Animal Health, Breeding, and Livestock Production at the University of Milan. In 2022, she completed her PhD in Medicine and Surgery within the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health at the University of Padua.
Between 2016 and 2019, she joined the IZSVe Special Virology and Experimentation Laboratory (SCS6) as a research fellow. From 2020 to 2022, she worked as a collaborator at the Penta Foundation (Pediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS). Since May 2022, she has been working in the Research in Animal Models and Alternative Methods Laboratory within SCS6, where she is primarily involved in the viral phenotype characterisation of emerging or re-emerging pathogens using in-vivo, in-vitro, and ex-vivo models with high translational value. Over the years, she has gained the core of her professional and research experience in studying the pathogenesis of Influenza A and D viruses, Newcastle disease virus, Zika flavivirus, and the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Her current research interests focus on the development and validation of alternative and innovative substrates to be applied to the study of infectious animal diseases, including zoonotic diseases that are potentially transmissible to humans.
