Hello everyone! My name is Vivian and I am a new PhD student in the unit for molecular cell biology. I work in Olivier Van Akens group where we study plant mitochondria and their ways of dealing with biotic and abiotic stress.
I came to Lund three years ago to obtain my master’s degree in biochemistry. Already during my master’s degree, I joined Olivier’s group for a project work and my master thesis research. Since March I am back as a PhD student and am excited to continue my studies on the evolutionary origin and mechanisms of plant mitochondrial stress responses!
