Post-doctoral Researcher
Genomics, Nutri-omics and Precision Health
My name is Mirko Treccani, a young scientist from Montichiari, a little town in the southeast province of Brescia, between the Po Valley and the Garda Lake.
I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Human Nutrition Unit at the Department of Food and Drug of the University of Parma (Italy).
My research focuses on human genomics and nutrigenomics, applying genome-wide association studies (GWAS), genotype imputation and polygenic risk scores (PGS) to investigate rare and complex diseases and human traits. Moreover, I am applying integrative multi-omics approaches and network analysis to develop personalised nutritional interventions and foster precision health.
I strongly support interdisciplinarity and knowledge contamination: I let curiosity shape my life and make me learn something new daily.

December 2025
Incoming Christmas time, time to recharge for the New Year! In this month, I roamed and talked at different events, starting with the ceremony for the 28th Francesco Rodella award in my home-town and ending with a fruitful two-days trip in Genova, to discuss about Mediterranean diet and gene regulation at the Liguria and Sardegna regional meeting of the Italian Society for Human Nutrition (SINU).
November 2025
In November a lot of things happens. First thing first, I was awarded one of the nineteen two-year Post-Doctoral Fellowship 2026 from Fondazione Umberto Veronesi. In the middle of the month, we published a review and a research article on nutrigenomics of (poly)phenols, and I was invited to talk at the Precision Nutrition Symposium at EURAC Research, in Bozen.
October 2025
October was calm, like Autumn. At the beginning of the month, I attended the 5th Annual Research Day of the Department of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Parma at Paderna Castle. In the middle, some nights out with friends and colleagues made everything better. We are working to finalise a couple of nutrigenomics researcher studies on (poly)phenols and human metabolism; let's push them!
