Andrea Johana López |
Andrea received a degree in biology education from the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas in 2012 and a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences-Microbiology at the Universidad de los Andes in 2016. Her Master's thesis was the biochemical characterization of the cytidine triphosphate synthase (CTPase) enzyme fromToxoplasma gondii. Currently, she works in a research project focusing on the characterization of pyrimidine catabolic pathway in Oryza sativa L. She is interested in identifying the role of this pathway in abiotic stress tolerancey. E-mail: Esta dirección electrónica esta protegida contra spam bots.
