I started my scientific career at the University of Parma (Italy) and then I moved to Spain with and European fellowship associated to a Research Training Network. My research activity is focused on different aspects of plant nitrogen metabolism that have a great impact on productivity such as nitrogen assimilation, response to abiotic stress, rhizobial symbiosis and photorespiration. In order to study these aspects of plant metabolism, I have used different research approaches ranging from classical plant biochemical and molecular biology analysis and later on, transcriptomics and metabolomics during several short stays at the Max Planck Institute in Golm. I am actually collaborating with several highly recognized international researchers such as Rodrigo A. Gutiérrez (Plant System Biology Lab., P. Universidad Católica de Chile) for plant system biology, Michael K. Udvardi (Chief Scientific Officer, Samuels Roberts Noble Foundation, USA) for legume functional genomics and Alisdair R. Fernie (Max Planck Institute, Golm, Germany) for metabolomic profiling.
I have been member of the research team of 11 Autonomic, National and European project, and have been principal investigator of four recent research projects. My scientific production is of 38 research papers, most of them in the first quartile or decile of their corresponding category; and I am either first or corresponding author in several of these publications.
I am associate editor for Frontiers in Plant Science, section plant metabolism and chemodiversity (https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/187426/overview) and have reviewed 96 scientific papers for top levels journals and 9 editorial contribution up to date (https://publons.com/author/1336764/marco-betti#profile), as well as several research proposal for various National and International agencies: AEI (and previous MINECO calls), Autonomic Evaluation of Spanish Research Groups, Fondo Clemente Estable (Uruguay); National Science Centre, Funding Scheme Preludium (Poland) and FASEP research call JP2 (Brazil).
My teaching experience is of 17 years and different courses at the Degree and Master levels, with more than 2,000 hours of total teaching and an average evaluation of the students of 4.35 over 5.00. I have supervised 2 Ph.D. theses (and am actually supervising 3 theses in progress), 8 master theses and 7 final degree projects, and have supervised 4 post-doctoral researchers.
