Laura Bille is a veterinary researcher at the Aquatic Epidemiology Unit – SCS4 Epidemiology Laboratory at IZSVe.

She has a degree in Veterinary medicine (University of Padua, 2010) and holds a postgraduate degree in “Breeding, hygiene, pathology of aquatic species and control of derived products” (University of Udine, 2013). She has been working at IZSVe since 2010, being involved in several projects on food safety and animal health of aquatic species by means of research temporary contracts.

Her research interest includes seafood safety, with particular reference to toxicology and ecology of chemical contaminants, and aquatic animal health. Furthermore, she studies the epidemiology of animal poisoning in northeastern Italian regions.

She mainly carries out research activities in the context of national and international projects and collaborations. She participates in the regional working group on the application of the European food safety legislation to shellfish production areas and she is involved in the activities of the National reference laboratory for fish, crustacean and mollusc pathology as an expert in data analysis and interpretation.

She is author and co-author of several publications including international peer-reviewed manuscripts, national and international proceeding of conferences and abstracts.
