I was part of the Forest Pathology lab at University of Concepción since 2012. My honors project was on fungicide resistance of Botrytis cinerea to the main products used in Eucalyptus nurseries and its relation with the aggressiveness and pathogen genotype. On 2014 I've worked in the control of this disease at University of Chile on blueberries and grapes nurseries and then I had the opportunity to develop a management program for the pathogen for the Forestry industry. Later in 2015, I started as a research assistant in a project about endophytes and diseases on Eucalyptus.
On 2017, I moved to Bioinformatics, I did my MSc in biochemistry and bioinformatics at University of Concepción, the project was about 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 the most special part was to participate in a social program that taught Python in chilean public schools.
During my PhD in FABI, I'll be investigating the interaction between Teratosphaeria destructans and Eucalyptus, at anatomical, histochemical and molecular level to understand host and pathogen responses during the infection.
