Research Interests
My research focuses on the study of autophagy, a process by which eukaryotic cells are able to maintain a homeostatic balance and respond to stress situations. I am interested in the connection between autophagy and oxidative stress generated in the chloroplast and mitochondria of microalgae. Specifically, we focus on the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
