I am Alessandra Boccaccini an I accomplished my PhD in “Life Science” in January 2015, at “Sapienza”, University of Rome, under the supervision of Paola Vittorioso and Prof. Paolo Costantino. My project was focused on the role of the transcription factor DAG1 during seed development and germination in Arabidopsis thaliana. After, 1-year post-doc fellowship founded by “Insituto Pasteur- Cenci Bolognetti Foundation”, I join to the group of Prof. Fankhauser as post-doc, where I am studing the regulation of phototropism in Arabidopsis.
