Maurizio Francesco Brivio is Associate Professor at the Dept. of Theoretical and Applied Sciences (DiSTA).Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, from the University of Milan, ItalyPh.D. in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the doctoral school of the Dept. of Biology, University of Milan.MFB's research activity is oriented to the study of host-parasite models in the field of biological control against alien arthropods.Studies focus on the optimization of sustainable control interventions of allochthonous Insects, with alternative methods to the use of synthetic pesticides.
