Posting this a little late, but definitely not too late!

Back in April, I had this incredibly enriching opportunity to attend RECROP GenNext Training School (and conference) at MAICh, Crete, Greece!🇬🇷
What an amazing place to be!

Also, presented there my research work to get insightful feedback! 🤗

Had a fantastic time at @episeedlink.bsky.social’s int conference 2026!

Inspiring talks on priming, stress & epigenetic memory, great discussions with fellow PhDs, and I was happy to present my poster and get valuable feedback 🙏
Great science, good food, canal walks & fresh ideas for the lab 🔬✨

Super excited to share our newly published work revealing how heat stress boosts transcription errors in plants and how TFIIS and NMD keep gene expression accurate!

A fresh look at the RNA quality-control systems that help Arabidopsis survive rising temperatures.

(Proudly) presenting my work at the 24th Genetic Workshops at BRC Szeged, Hungary. 😃

It’s about (two) transcription elongation factors acting in collaboration to rescue Pol II under heat stress conditions.

Interesting times ahead! 😊

As my very first post on Bluesky, I would like to share our latest article published in @theplantjournal.bsky.social in March this year.

We examined how INCREASED DNA METHYLATION 3 collaborates with HAIRPLUS to regulate DNA methylation and trichome development in tomato! 🍅

INCREASED DNA METHYLATION 3 forms a potential chromatin remodelling complex with HAIRPLUS to regulate DNA methylation and trichome development in tomato
The epigenetic control of trichome development is poorly understood. This study identifies SlIDM3 as a novel component of this regulatory pathway offering new strategies to manipulate hairiness in ag...
