Professor Di Pietro has been Coordinator and Partner of several transnational projects funded by the EU FP6 and FP7 programs (Marie Curie ITNs, ERA-NET, Plant KBBE) and PI of several national projects from the Spanish Ministery of Economy and Competitivity (MINECO). He is a former Chair of the Executive Committee of the Fusarium Genomes Research Policy Group (Fusigroup) and the current Secretary of the Filamentous Fungi and Yeast Division of the Spanish Society of Microbiology (SEM). He is Co-chair of the 28th Fungal Genetics Conference to be held in Asilomar, CA in 2015, editor of Fungal Genetics Biology and was a recent Editor in Chief of Microbiology Research.

His research focuses on conserved signalling mechanisms that govern fungal infection, with special emphasis on MAPK cascades and the protein kinase TOR (target of rapamycin). We also study the evolutionary links between fungal pathogenicity on plants and on mammals, using F. oxysporum as a trans-kingdom pathogen model.
