Mattia Fois
@mattiafois
I build decision-ready biological research data and validate crop-protection candidates from bioassays through greenhouse trials.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
At Syngenta Biologicals, I lead data governance and experimental projects for biological research, turning automated phenotypic data into accurate, traceable, decision-ready evidence. I standardize data structures, define quality KPIs and controlled vocabularies, and help build FAIR-compliant, ML/AI-ready R&D datasets.
Previously, I designed trials and bioassays for natural and synthetic compounds, from model plants to greenhouse target crops. With a PhD in Genetics and Genomics, I connect physiology, phenotyping, and molecular data to support crop protection and biostimulant discovery.
