Dear everyone! My name is Eva Maria Gomez Alvarez, I am in my second year of the Ph.D. in Agrobiodiversity in the PlantLab (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, PISA, Italy). I was born in Valencia, Spain, where I studied plant synthetic biology for several years during my bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, I am also an ex- IGEM student (ChatterPlant, 2017)! After an Erasmus internship at the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford, I moved to Madrid to perform my Master’s degree in Plant Biotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
I am currently working with cereals and submergence-hypoxia stress, using genetics and bioinformatics approaches. During the last years, I have been involved in projects regarding plant-microbe interaction in Arabidopsis thaliana and synthetic biology of Potyviruses. Since the beginning of my research career, I have worked with plants which I find fascinating. As a hobby, I play the flute since I was 7 years old, an activity that I love as much as I love plants.
Do not hesitate to contact me for whatever you might need!
