Biography
Prof. Dr Massimo Maffei, Editor-in-Chief
Journal of Plant Interactions
Prof. Massimo Maffei is Full Professor of Plant Physiology in the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology, University of Turin, Italy
Prof. Maffei is author of over 200 scientific papers, editor of books, and author of several book chapters. He has been invited as Session Chairman at several international meetings in addition to regularly presenting invited lectures at international congresses. His research is focused on the study of the signal transduction pathway in plant-biotrophic interactions using metabolomics, confocal laser microscopy, electrophysiology and molecular biology techniques. He is particularly interested in astrobiology with reference to the effects of magnetic fields on plants.
Prof. Maffei is currently a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences and Journal of Essential Oil Research, and regularly referees for other internationally renowned journals.
Dr. Francesca Barbero is Associate Professor at the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology, University of Turin.
Her research is mainly focused on the study of multitrophic interactions in systems involving plants, butterflies and ants, to shade light on basic mechanisms responsible for the origin, evolution and maintenance of such relationships.
Francesca Barbero is author of invited reviews as well as of many research papers, bilingual monography and book chapters. She is Associate Editor for Insect Conservation and Diversity, Physics Today’s review advisors for books, guest editor for a special issue titled “Plant-Insect Interactions" in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and peer-reviewer for many ISI journals.
Francesca Barbero has been invited speaker at several international and national conferences and she is panelist for Romanian National Projects “Young Research Teams” and for the national prize "Young people and science"
