I made my undergraduate degree in Plant Biotechnology at University of Concepcion, Chile and I worked in the Forest Pathology lab since 2012. My honours project was in fungicide resistance of Botrytis cinerea in Eucalyptus nurseries and its relation with the aggressiveness of the pathogen. At the same time I worked in University of Chile in the same topic in blueberries and grapes nurseries. After my undergraduate I was research assistant in a project of endophytes microorganisms in Eucalyptus. In my MSc in biochemistry and bioinformatics, I worked in strategies of transcriptome assembly of Eucalyptus spp. under cold stress and studied proteins involved in the process. I learned programing languages, R and Python, and I participated in a social program that taught Python in public schools. Now,  I would like to mix both areas (plant pathology and bioinformatics) in my PhD project.  For this, I will be investigating about Teratosphaeria destructans, an important leaf fungal pathogen in Eucalyptus plantations. For me, this project is a big challenge and a great opportunity to contribute in the study of the biological interactions in this pathosystem.
