I got my bachelor and master’s degree at the University of Padova in Biotechnology and Industrial Biotechnology respectively (2013-2018). I’ve spent one more year in the laboratory of prof. Lo Schiavo where I got a minor postgraduate fellowship. At the end of 2019 I arrived in Pisa where I entered the PhD programme in Agrobiosciences of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in the laboratory of professor Perata. I defended my PhD thesis in 2023 and I’ve been working as postdoc researcher since then.
My research interest focus on the plant response to low oxygen. In particular I’m studying the hypoxic niche established by the interaction between the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana with necrotrophic pathogens. Another topic regards the establishments of a transgenerational stress memory on plants facing low oxygen stress during their lifespawn.
