We explore how plant cells age and how they counteract aging, combining fundamental research with the development of technologies that have real-world impact. We focus on autophagy, a central cellular recycling mechanism, and its interaction with ethylene, a key hormone controlling ripening and senescence.
Requirements: Bachelor’s degree for MSc students and a Master’s degree for doctoral students, in biology or agricultural sciences.
You will get experience with: Molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and advanced microscopy
