Research Interests
My main interests focus on understanding the mechanisms that plants use to cope and adapat to biotic and abiotic stress, both at a molecular and evolutionary level. The ultimate goal is the application of this knowledge to mitigate crops and ecosystems loss due to climate change.
During my scientific career, my research interests has been on understanding the mechanisms of plants to perceive and respond to biotic and abiotic signals, as well as the evolution of these mechanisms. Particularly, I have focused on three different topics: i) the identification and characterization of genes involved in plant tolerance to drought ans salinity, ii) the characterization of mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interaction, and iii) the role of stress granules for heat shock tolerance in plants.
