Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali
I obtained my PhD in 2023 with a thesis entitled “Two novel genes downstream of the florigenic and the photoperiodic induction control rice plant development in the reproductive stage.”
I am currently involved in the breeding of new rice varieties, developing and applying molecular markers to assist in crossbreeding, and leveraging the potential of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to accelerate the introgression of agronomically valuable traits.
I am co-founder of EBI Plant Genetics, a spin-off of the Università degli Studi di Milano
