I'm a biologist with a PhD in Genetics and skills in plant biotechnology tools (microcutting, adventitial regeneration by organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis, in vitro induction of polyploidy, gene transfer mediated by Agrobacterium or biolistic), mainly in the grapevine but also in other species of commercial interest.
