Currently, I am investigating the molecular details of newly discover chloroplast and mitochondria unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway in Arabidopsis in abiotic stress, upon the accumulation of misfolded protein in the two organelles. The aim is to provide a comprehensive picture of how UPR impacts organelle and nuclear gene expression to efficiently overcome protein homeostasis unbalances
PhD Student
Nicolaj.Jeran@unimi.it
I'm an enthusiastic Ph.D. student interested in chloroplast protein homeostasis and retrograde signalling. Currently I'm investigating the chloroplast-to-nucleus signalling upon perturbation of the chloroplast protein homeostasis by heat exposure.

PhD Student
Viola.Torricella@unimi.it
I’m a Ph.D. student in Molecular and Cellular Biology school. I’m interested in studying barley photosynthetic mutants, my main focus is the characterization of pale mutants from mutagenized collections like TILLMore and NordGene. My research aim is to find mutations which can be exploited to enhance photosynthetic performance in barley.
PhD Student
andrea.persello@phd.unipd.it
I am a PhD student in Scientific,Technological and Social Methods Enabling Circular Economy school. My project regard the characterization of novel pale-green barley lines with enhanced photosynthetic performances. In particular, their application in the agri-voltaic system, which associate agriculture and production of renewable energy from solar panels reducing land competition.
Master Student
alessandro.betti@studenti.unimi.it
I am a master's student in molecular biotechnology and bioinformatics.
The aim of my work is the genomical and phenotypical characterization of the pale-green barley mutant TM-1214 produced by chemical mutagenesis.
This mutant could provide insight on chloroplast development and ultrastructural organization, and further knowledge about the pale-green phenotype applied on cultivars.
Erasmus Student
Milena.runge@stud.tu-darmstadt.de
I'm a General Biology master student from TU Darmstadt in Germany and currently doing an internship in the PhotoLab group. My project is focused on protein degradation in chloroplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that are lacking different chloroplast transporters and/or chloroplast proteases.
