This first semester, women took over the Plant Nutrition and Genomics Lab. 👩🔬🌱🧬
It all started with Silvia Velosa’s successful thesis defense, focused on the functional characterization of a key transcription factor in the wheat response to sulfur deficiency. Silvia stood out for being methodical and deeply committed to her work in the lab. We wish her every success in her career! 🎓
More recently, Antonia Salvo, a thesis student in our lab, won a “Women’s Leadership 2026” thesis support grant from the UACh Faculty of Sciences and Ciencia 2030 Sur Subantártico. Onwards and upwards! 💪
