SECONDMENTS

Maria Ferreira @Higashiyama's Lab

In January 2018, Maria João ferreira moved from Porto, Portugal to Professor Higashiyama’s Lab, in Nagoya, Japan for a 6 months secondement. There she will study how cell-to-cell communication occurs between the ovule’s sporophytic and gametophytic generations, during ovule development. Good luck out there! Bring us great results Maria!

Lisa Rotasperti @Bombarely's Lab

Lisa Rotasperti is a Phd student in Molecular and Cellular Biology from University of Milan who has recently finished a secondment at Aureliano Bombarely's Lab, Virginia Tech, USA. At Aureliano Bombarely’s Lab she learned how to analyze RNAseq data from the silique of Arabidopsis thaliana using bioinformatics tools.

Silvia Manrique @Bombarely's Lab

Since April 2017, Silvia Manrique is out there in United States, enjoying a great opportunity to work at Aureliano Bombarely's Lab, in Virginia, for a 10 month secondment.

Rosanna Petrella @Tucker's Lab

Since March 2017, Rosanna Petrella from University of Milan, Italy, is at Matthew Tucker's Lab, in Adelaide, enjoying a unique opportunity to work, for an 8 months secondment. Good luck out there!

Sara Pinto @Tucker's Lab

Since February 2017, Sara Pinto is out there in Australia, enjoying a unique opportunity to work at Matthew Tucker's Lab, in Adelaide, for a 6 months secondment. She's studying genes associated with ovule development in Arabidopsis.

Mário Costa @Bob Franks' Lab

Since January 2017, Mário Luís Costa is out there in the USA, at Bob Franks' Lab, in North Carolina, in a 6 months secondment. He's studying genes associated with embryo patterning and endosperm formation, in several plant species.

Mónica Costa @Ravi's Lab

Since January 2017, another one of us is off in a 6 months secondment, in Tucson, Arizona. She recently participated in the Grad Slam, a campus-wide competition for the best 3-min presentation of a research project.

Andrea Guazzotti @Higashiyama's lab

In November 2016, one of our brightest PhD fellows spent a month and a half in Higashiyama-sensei's lab, at Nagoya University ITbM, Japan. It was an authentic mixture of life and labwork experiences. Almost impossibile to leave without a scar from there. Highly recommended to the ones looking for a lovely lab time and amazing microscopes!

Giovanni Beccari @Bob Franks's Lab

From July until December 2016, Giovanni Beccari from the University of Perugia, Italy, had the opportunity to work at Bob Frank's Lab, in North Carolina, for a 6 months secondment.

Andrea Guazzotti @Palanivelu's Lab

In March 2016, Andrea Guazzotti had chance to stay at Prof. Ravishankar Palanivelu's Lab for a short secondment of a month and a half, in Tucson, Arizona, US. Arid clima went against friendly and amazing time in the lab of Prof. Palanivelu. A must see for pollen tube guidance lovers. Plus, an extra big recommendation: HUG CACTUS ;)

Ana Marta Pereira @Ravi's Lab

In March 2016, Ana Marta Pereira spent 1 month secondment in Tucson, Arizona. She also had the chance to win the Joseph Mascarenhas best talk award at the 24th International Congress on Sexual Plant Reproduction, delivered to her by Alice Cheung. During her stay at Prof. Ravishankar Palanivelu's Lab, she learned a lot about RNA seq analysis in collaboration with the Cyverse team.

Sílvia Coimbra @Ravi's Lab

In March 2016, our Professor Sílvia Coimbra spent 1 month secondment in Tucson, Arizona, for the Project kick-off! She had the chance to organize the 1st Meeting and develop the 1st RISE SEXSEED Workshop, besides scheduling of secondments for the 1st year, in a wonderful stay.
