Curriculum Vitae

DANIELA CORREIA CORDEIRO

Daniela Cordeiro is a researcher in the Forest Biotechnology group at the University of Alcalá (Madrid, Spain) and a PhD student at the University of Coimbra (Portugal). Daniela has a degree in Biology (2012) and a Master's in Plant Biodiversity and Biotechnology (2017) from the University of Coimbra. She carried out her Master's thesis at the University of Ghent (Belgium). She has studied aspects of molecular regulation underlying plant regeneration capacity, in particular, in the organogenesis process of Arabidopsis thaliana and in the somatic embryogenesis process in the woody plant Solanum betaceum. Daniela published 7 papers in peer-reviewed journals (6 of which as first author) and has presented her work as oral and poster communications at several international conferences.
