Biography:
Dr. Penelope Sotiriou is a plant biologist and laboratory teaching staff member at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Her research interests focus on plant cell wall biology, plant development, and morphogenesis. She has extensive experience in the study of cell wall polysaccharides, including their biosynthesis, distribution, and role in plant cell differentiation. Her publications have addressed topics such as cell wall regeneration in protoplasts, mesophyll and pavement cell morphogenesis, and the spatial organization of cell wall matrix components in higher plants. Through both research and teaching, she contributes to the advancement of plant biology and the understanding of how cell wall architecture influences plant structure and function.
