I am a fourth-year biology student at the Faculty of Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań. I am fascinated by epigenetics, its inheritance, and contribution to plant adaptation. This year I am continuing to work on my Master’s thesis, which focuses on the search for a potential epigenetic switch determining cell survival or death during darkness-induced senescence in barley leaves. My task in this project focuses on studying the mobility and positioning of nucleosomes. My undergraduate thesis was dedicated to dehydrins and their contribution to the abiotic stress response.
