(she/her) 🇮🇹 Fresh postdoc @hhu.de 🇩🇪 I study algae, photosynthesis and other fun stuff! 🧪🌱☀️ linktr.ee/giossichiara

📣📣📣 My @dfg.de Walter Benjamin Position has been funded 🥳🙏 In the next two years at the Institute for Molecular Photosynthesis @hhu.de I will be investigating how specialised enzymes balance photoprotection and carotenoid biosynthesis in marine diatoms. The journey begins! ☀️👩🏻‍🔬

Canonically late with the news, but pretty excited to be featured on the Plant Physiology First Authors Spotlights 🥳 Very proud of what I have achieved so far and looking forward to see what the future holds! 🍀☀️ Check out the full spotlight (and the paper)! 👇
