Biography
Presently, I am conducting my post-doctoral research at the University of Essex (Colchester, UK) in the group of Prof. Christine Raines. I have a solid background in plant biology, physiology and molecular biology. Over the past years I secured an excellent knowledge of carbon metabolism, photosynthesis, plant physiology and I developed strong bases on light signalling, and chronobiology. I am proficient in investigating central carbon metabolism, aspects of plant physiology, gene editing, molecular biology and how to use these tools in large scale phenotyping studies. I strongly believe in the importance of plant research for the future of sustainable and fair agriculture. I am driven towards synthetic biology and its multidisciplinary approach as it will allow me to use my knowledge and learn new skills that will strengthen my expertise in the pursuit of cutting-edge science to reach my goal.
