Hello everyone! My name is Rigel Salinas Gamboa. I´m originally from Mexico. I studied experimental biology in the Metropolitan University (UAM-I) where my research was focused on the integrity of membranes of the tomato fruit, together with the Institute of Agriculture in Argentina (INTA-Castelar). I came back to Mexico (CINVESTAV-Irapuato) to study the Master focused in Biotechnology, in the reproduction of the female gametophyte of a bean originally from Africa, known as cowpea. Then I worked for 4 years in the same lab (Apomixis lab), in the induction of synthetic apomixis in Arabidopsis and cowpea. Currently I´m studying the PhD since 2019 in Cologne, Germany (MPIPZ) to focus on the Mechanisms of Meiosis and Recombination in Arabidopsis. I am also very interested in all the topics related to outreach, science communication, education and psychology.
Cheers!
