CURRICULUM VITAE
Dr. Luigi Marongiu studied Molecular Virology at the Università Roma Tre (Italy) and worked in national microbiology reference laboratories in Italy (Spallanzani Institute, Rome), Malta (Mater Dei Hospital, Msida), and England (Imperial College, London). He completed his Ph.D. in Virology at the University College London (UCL, England) and conducted postdoctoral research in Virology at the Universities of Cambridge (Addenbrooke’s Hospital, England), Edinburgh (Roslin Institute, Scotland), and Heidelberg (Medical Faculty and Institute of Global Health, Germany). In 2021, he joined the research working group of Prof. Dr. Dr. Sascha Venturelli at the Department of Nutritional Biochemistry of the University of Hohenheim (Germany). Luigi Marongiu established the Nutritional Virology Unit (NVU) within this group, taking advantage of the favorable environment offered by the Venturelli Laboratory, which provides cutting edge know-how in tissue culture including organoids, nutritional biochemistry, and molecular biology. Additionally, the Venturelli Laboratory has a long-standing connection with the University Hospital Tübingen (Germany), including the Virotherapy Center (VCT) that has expertise in cultivating and characterizing viruses for the clinical use. Luigi Marongiu is responsible for bio-information and statistics within the Venturelli Laboratory. He contributes to the department’s didactic activity by teaching microbiome, with a focus on the phageome (the collection of bacterial viruses present in our microbiome) and nutrition. He is the author of the book “Machine Learning Analysis of qPCR Data Using R” (Nova Science).
