Dr. Cecilia Primo Planta joined the lab as a postdoc supported by the Marie Curie cofund IF@ULB. Cecilia comes from Valencia (Spain) where she did her PhD under the supervision of Pr. Lyne Yennusch (Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Plants) about the tight relationships between potassium and TORC1 in yeast. She then moved to Houston (USA) where she did a postdoc in the lab of Pr. KD Hirschi (Baylor College of Medicine, Children’s Nutrition Research Center) where she investigated miRNAs and Type 1 H+-pumping pyrophosphatases in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. She has now joined the lab for working on the role of plasma membrane H+-ATPases in TORC1 regulation.
