RP has principally worked in the fields of bacterial genetics and global regulation of gene expression. At the beginning of her career, RP studied conjugative transposons of Gram positive bacteria and developed biotechnological tools with the commensal Streptococcus gordonii. From 1995 to 2000 she was in New York (USA). During this period her research focused on the characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved in natural transformation in the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis. When she moved to Padova, she started a research focused on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) with main interest on the relationship between virulence and global regulation of transcription.
