Offer Description

Research activity supports the continuation of breeding programs aimed at developing new disease-resistant and high
quality grapevine varieties for more sustainable viticulture, reducing the impact of polluting substances and working in
close collaboration with the industrial partner.
At the same time, the project aims to explore the feasibility of implementing a genomic selection approach, already
widely applied in animal breeding, with the objective of optimizing and accelerating the identification and selection of
the most promising grapevine genotypes. This will be achieved by leveraging the biological materials and datasets
already available within the research unit and developed in collaboration with the industrial partner, as well as the
expertise of highly qualified postdoctoral researchers, thereby fostering technology transfer and innovation.
