Download - My visual resume by Iacono Rosario
Hello!
My name is Rosario Iacono...
And this is my visual resume
I grew up in the countryside near Ragusa (Sicily, Italy).
Since when I was a kid I have been having a great fondness for nature and natural sciences.
All my lifelong I walked along the path of this fondness
I lived in the countryside untill I was 21 and I worked for ten years in my family multifunctional, diverse, organic and traditional farm
Then I learnt how to...
• Milk cows
• Face calving and animal diseases
• Make traditional P.O.D. Ragusanocheese
• Take care, graft and prune carobs and olive trees
• Drive a tractor and use a chainsaw
• Autonomously manage the farm
• Feed cattles
Continuing to work in the farm, in 2001 I started a University course in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies in the University of Catania
In 2006 I gained a Bachelor Degree in “Agricultural Sciences and Technologies in tropical and Subtropical Areas”.
In 2004 I worked for 6 months as an University trainee in the Sensory Evaluation Laboratory in CoRFiLaC (International Reasearch Institute for Ragusano PDO).
In 2006 I moved to Catania.
I attended a course in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies at Faculty of Agricultural Sciences in University of Catania
And I got a Master of Sciences in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies
As Master’s candidate I worked for a year at Department of Agri-food and environmental Systems Management – Division of Plant Pathology with the team of Professor Giancarlo Polizzi.
On July 2010 I defended my thesis on the first use of trunk injection techniques on Cycads against manganese deficiency.
I was fascinated by plant pathology...
In 2010 I moved to Milan...
...where I successfully applied for a PhD in Molecular Biology at Faculty of Agricultural Sciences in University of Milan
With a public scholarship in 2011 I started to work on a a PhD project on Molecular Basis of Bioremediation and Sulfur Use Efficiency in Plants
at Parco TecnologicoPadano
There I had the opportunity of working in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment,
With the team of Prof Gian Attilio Sacchi and Fabio Nocito I gained gratifying results
Such as...
• An innovative hydroponic method for growing Arabidopsis in differential nutritional conditions
• A new method for assess the affinity for sulfate of some Arabidopsis and Brassica sulfate transporters. Avoiding the use of radiolabeled ions.
• The evidence of a differential regulation of sulfur metabolism under sulfatedeficiency and cadmium exposion in Brassica juncea
And acquired some skills such as...
• Several basics and advanced molecular biology techniques
• Teaching skills to students of secondary school
• Bioinformatics skills through transporters genomic analyses
• Team working and multidisciplinary thinking
• Problem solving and results critical analises
In 2013 I moved to London to improve my English, looking for a new career development and new challenges
Italian is my mother tongue
But I speak English as well and I recently gained a ESOL L2 certificate in English
And in my spare time I am studying Chinese
I love languages
I have a good knowledge of...
In my spare time I love... Practicing martial
arts
Travelling
Acting
Reading
Watching movies
