In her master thesis, Silvia Morini reconstructed the first genome-scale model for Treponema pallidum.

In cooperation with the University of Milan BICOCCA  and the chair of​​​​​​​ Prof. Nieselt , the first draft for a model of the central carbon change of the syphilis pathogen Treponema pallidum ssp. pallidum was developed.
