Infections and Cystic Fibrosis Unit, San Raffaele Scientific Institute
Dr. Laura Veschetti, PhD, Young Principal Investigator at Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele and San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy.
Dr. Laura Veschetti received her MSc in Molecular and Medical Biotechnology from the University of Verona in 2018 and earned her PhD in Applied Life and Health Sciences at the University of Verona in 2022. During her doctoral studies, she worked at GMLab and spent time as a visiting PhD student at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (Denmark).
Her research has focused on microbial genomics, with particular emphasis on microbe–host adaptation, environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance, and the interplay between transcriptome and mirnome in nematodes.
After completing her PhD, Dr. Veschetti joined the Infections and Cystic Fibrosis Unit at San Raffaele Scientific Institute (Milan) as a postdoctoral researcher, where she expanded her research interests toward host–pathogen interactions in Cystic Fibrosis, with a special focus on the adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
She has recently started her independent career as a Young PI with her first funded project (Fondazione Cariplo Giovani Ricercatori 2023), focused on the regulation of gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, at Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele and San Raffaele Scientific Institute. In 2025, she also received a postdoctoral fellowship from the European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) to investigate bacterial evolution in the era of CFTR modulators.
