Mate Čarija was in the short scientific training from 17.06.-30.06. 2019 at the Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection in Bari, Italy. The host was prof. dr. sc. Pasquale Saldarelli, also a collaborator on the project.

While we in Croatia were celebrating two holidays during that period, Mate was in the Laboratory of prof. Saldarelli learning and adopting the Real-Time PCR method, advanced analytical detection and quantification method for grapevine viruses. In the second week of his stay in Bari, Mate was hosted at the Agritest Laboratory to perform ELISA on  the Croatian autochthonous grapevine samples.

Bravo Mate for great learning and results and we owe you two days off the work :-)!
