Biologist and Master in Functional Biology and Biotechnology of Plants (FCUP), she is currently enrolled in a PhD project at FCUP, entitled ” SUPER WILD ROOTSTOCKS – Grafting onto wild species to improve tomato’s tolerance to combined abiotic stress”, financed by FCT (2021.07825.BD), in collaboration with the Universities of Minho and Wageningen. Her work aims to explore the interspecific diversity of tomato in search for physiological and biochemical traits of tolerance to abiotic stress.
