Mafalda Rodrigues
Mafalda Rodrigues is a PhD student at GPlantS under the supervision of Isabel Abreu and Margarida Oliveira.
Mafalda Rodrigues graduated in Cellular Biology and Biotechnology by FCUL. She has a Msc. in Biotechnology by IST.
Mafalda is studying the proteome response to induced water stress in Arabidopsis, with a particular emphasis on the SUMOylation role. She is using 2-DE analysis and MS, to characterize the proteomic response of the dehydration stress and to identify the SUMOylation targets. In parallel, Mafalda is also studying the heterologous localization and activity of the extremophile D. radiodurans MnSOD protein in Arabidopsis.
