Biography:
Seanna is PhD student in the Molecular Plant Sciences Program at Washington State University (USA). In the lab of Dr. Amit Dhingra, she studies biochemistry, physiology, and genomics of fruit ripening, looking at both fundamental and applied aspects of this complex process. The ultimate goal of her research is to reduce food waste associated with unpredictable ripening of fruit. In addition to her thesis research, Seanna recently completed an internship at BioBam Bioinformatics, in Valencia, where she advanced her knowledge of bioinformatics and computational biology.
Title : Overcoming the challenges of determining genetic diversity in closely related genotypes that have undergone a genetic bottleneck.
