Biography
Since January 2006, Dr. Daniela Fracassetti has been working at the Department of Food, Environmental and Nutritional Science (DeFENS), Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy), where she has been dealing with winemaking. During her researches, she has increased her knowledge about chemistry, molecular biology, physiology and microbiology in the model yeast S. cerevisiae as well as in the non-Saccharomyces yeasts, such as Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Actually, she is dealing with oenological chemistry, in particular she has been focused on the chemical mechanisms behind the formation of off-flavors and the fate of wine components and the development of analytical methods
