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.

March 2026
An eventful March is ending. We brilliantly carried out the 3rd edition of Young Minds at Work, where I presented our work on GWAS and PGS on phenolic metabotypes and their impact on cardiometabolic traits and diseases. Other network activities took place, such as the AperiScience in Parma and some mentoring activities with high school students; at the Don Milani we are also starting a new activity on nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. And finally, our research work on the genetics of serum electrolytes has been published by NDT - Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation.
February 2026
No big news in this February. Mostly working to advance projects, organise conferences and seminars, and present contributions to conferences along the year.
January 2026
Happy New Year! This month, I started the NASA Open Science course. Together with the Pathology group, we published a new research article on KRAS G12C mutation in non-small cell lung cancer. We also started organizing conference: I am officially part of the Scientific Committee of the 3rd Young Minds at Work (YMW2026) and part of the Programme Committee of the 21st International Conference on Computational Intelligence methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (CIBB2026).
