So far, she has mentored 2 PhD and 15 MSc students.

Her scientific interests are in the field of molecular plant pathology, especially in the diversity of plant viruses and viroids, molecular characterization, epidemiology and diversity of phytoplasmas or other uncultivable bacteria. She was a Fulbright scholar at the Department of Plant Pathology, University of California-Riverside, USA, an EMBO short-term fellow, and later on a TEMPUS fellow, at the Dipartimento di Patologia Vegetale e Scienze Ambientali, University of Bologna, Italy, as well as a visiting young scientist at Dipartimento di Patologia Vegetale, University of Bari, Italy.
