Cecília Almadanim Pina
Cecília Almadanim Pina is a PhD student at GPlantS under the supervision of Margarida Oliveira, Sónia Negrão and Isabel Abreu.
Cecília Graduated in Applied Plant Biology by FCUL.
Cecília has been working in the characterization of new allelic variants in key rice salt-tolerance genes, using EcoTILLING. Currently, she is particularly interested in studying one gene, which is known to be involved in stress signal transduction pathways. Cecília is using genomic, physiologic and proteomic approaches to characterize this gene and enlighten its role in rice stress response.
