(Chemical) Bonding is what makes life possible

I’m a Plant Scientist dedicated to studying cellular & molecular processes involved in Plant Reproduction. I was awarded my PhD (2015, University of Porto) on this topic. The PhD included 6 months at the University of Regensburg, Germany and 2 years at the University of Milan, Italy. To pursue my scientific interests, I moved to Milano (Italy) to carry out my 1st Post Doc (2017-2020) with an MSCA Fellowship (EpiAGPs, GA No. 753328) and worked to better understand the roles of AGPs & epigenetics in reprodcution. Currently I’m working with Sílvia Coimbra, at the SPReD Lab– REQUIMTe, at the Biology Department, Faculty of Sciences, as a Research Assistant, continuing my research on AGPs and plant reproduction.
