LANDLAB TEAM
Driven to explore the dynamics of plants, the Landlab team is based on a variety of diverse specialisations and know-how which interlock in a circular style where the information is constantly exchanged to gain the best possible result in the research.
Shared responsibilities: Landlab introduces its new management model
From the beginning of this year – in order to better fulfil the requests and the needs of its clients – Landlab introduced a new management model.
No more a pyramid structure, headed by a single individual, but a new organisational model based on an increased involvement of each member of the staff which – for this purpose – opened up to the project managers, professionals with specific training and skills who, while leading an equally well-skilled team, will meet the needs of the clients step by step from the very beginning to the final phases of the project.
experiences that contaminate each other, a constant flow and exchange of information: we strive for the highest results only.

Profiles of our professionals.
Management area
Adriano Altissimo
Scientific Manager
Graduated in 1975 at the University of Padua in Agricultural Science. He began his career as technician and then as professional land planner.
Currently he is the co-owner and R&D responsible of Landlab and his research field has widened to fertilizers and bio-stimulants.
He is co-author in scientific publications on the subject of bio-stimulant products in agriculture. He promotes and maintains relationships with many research Institutes, Universities and private companies. His main goal is sharing innovations, researching, growing with people with different vocational trainings, with the only aim of working for stable, simple, efficient and low impact cropping systems.
Rossella Bortolaso
Area Manager Plant Protection
Graduated in 2008 at the University of Padua in LT Biotechnology; she is a specialized technician in agriculture, with a master degree in Biotechnology, with specific knowledge in the deep analysis of the physiology of the plants.
Within Landlab her duties range from the planning and organization of trials (field trials, or trials in controlled environments), the setup of trials and assessment management, the statistical analysis of collected data, the reports drafting, the knowledge and skills in the pathogens proliferation field, the picture phenotyping for plants using specific software up to the chlorophyll analysis in plants
Cristina Sudiro
Area Manager Plant Biostimulation
Graduated in 2013 at the University of Padua in Industrial Biotechnology and finished PhD in Biosciences and Biotechnology in 2017; she is specialized in plant bioscience, environmental stresses and molecular biology. Within Landlab, she performs biochemical analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments, also using model plants.
Silvia Piasentin
Area Manager Plant Nutrition
Master degree in Agri-food Biotechnology at the University of Verona (Italy) in 2012. Subsequently she carried on researches focused on the characterization of cation transporter proteins in Brassicaceae family.
Her main interests and studies concern plant mineral nutrition, especially the molecular biology aspects of the relationship between plants and essential elements, and their potential application through biotechnological approaches. Within Landlab she designs and performs trials to study plant physiology and to test prototypes of fertilizers and bio-stimulants.

Simone Sello
Trials assistant
He graduated in 2012 in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Padua. Then, in 2016, he obtained his PhD in Evolutionary Biology with a thesis on intracellular mechanisms related to plant perception of environmental stimuli.
As a careful observer of the inputs given by the natural environment, he is dynamic and proactive in different working environments, such as plant care and management.
In Landlab he assists on the execution of trials and evaluates the results, with particular interest in plant bio-stimulation and plant-microorganism interaction.
Mauro Bressan
Trial manager
Master degree in Agri-food Biotechnology at the university of Verona (Italy) in 2013.
Subsequently he carried on a phD in Biotechnology focused on plant manipulation of photosynthetic related genes in order to increase the light-biomass conversion efficiency. Afterwards he carried on a post-doctoral fellowship on plant genome editing (of gene) involved on photosynthetic apparatus.
His main interests and studies concern plant photosynthesis, plant biochemistry, molecular biology and plant physiology with particular attention to the relationship between plants and environmental stress.
Within Landlab, he performs trials aimed to studying the plant response against environmental stress and testing prototypes involved on the plant protection.
Technical area
Matteo Corniglia
Trials assistant
Master degree in Design and Management of Urban Green Areas and Landscape at University of Pisa (Italy) in 2016; he discussing the thesis on the use of unmanned aerial vehicle to estimate nitrogen status of turfgrasses.
His main interests and studies concern turf management, in particular the selection of turfgrass with better performance, drought resistance and nutrient use efficiency.
Within Landlab he performs and maintenances experimental trials, especially in the turf sector.
Saccozza Gregory
Trials assistant
Graduated in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies on the 25th February 2016 at the University of Padova discussing an experimental thesis on the effect of two phosphatic fertilizers over the assimilable forms of phosphorus and over the Hypericum moserianum growth in open field.
In Landlab he performs the conduction of the open field and safe environment experimental trials.
