I am a PhD student in Botany at Charles University. My doctoral work consists of investigating transgenerational effects in plants, making a comparison at the sexual and asexual reproductive level and understanding the epigenetic mechanisms that underlie these effects. All this with the aim of understanding the adaptability that plants may have in the face of the climate crisis we are currently experiencing.
I am very interested in working in genetics, molecular biology and bioinformatics. I have experience working with different organisms including insects, turtles and hominids.
