BIO

I am a plant molecular biologist, with a particular interest towards investigating plant-environment interactions and the study of canonical molecular pathways in non-model plants. My research revolves around understanding the transcriptomic, physiological and evolutionary conserved responses in both, vascular and early diverging land plants to develop solutions for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation.
