Post-doctoral researcher
Translational Plant Biology, InBios, Université de Liège
I am working on a FNRS project at Marc Hanikenne's lab (ULiege, Belgium) in collaboration with Nathalie Verbruggen (ULB, Belgium). My work focuses on understanding plant responses to zinc deficiency, zinc excess, and cadmium exposure, through physiological, transcriptomic, and computational analyses.
