Mandat de Chercheur Qualifié FNRS pour Francesco Renzi.
Docteur en biologie au sein de l’institut Narilis de l’UNamur, Francesco Renzi vient d’obtenir un mandat de chercheur qualifié FNRS. Ses recherches ont principalement pour objectif de comprendre le fonctionnement des bactéries et plus particulièrement de la bactérie Capnocytophaga canimorsus présente dans la salive des chiens. Celle-ci est un danger potentiel pour l’homme puisqu’en cas de morsure ou griffure par un animal porteur, il peut développer une septicémie conduisant dans 30% des cas au décès.
