Bruno Filipe Pereira de Sousa. BSc in Biology (concluded in 2016) and MSc in Functional Biology and Biotechnology of Plants (concluded in 2018), dedicates his research to understanding the responses of plants to several types of stressors, focusing also on developing tools to counteract those stressors or improve plants' adaptation to them. Since the beginning of his MSc, B. Sousa has been apart of the Plant Stress lab (GreenUPorto - FCUP), a laboratory focused on Plant Stress Physiology. Here, B. Sousa has been studying the response of an important crop to an emerging contaminant (diclofenac), the use of phytohormones to improve plant tolerance to heavy metals and ways to grant economic value to otherwise wasted resources (wrack and burnt eucalyptus biomass). These studies and expertise come from his participation in 2 national/international I&D funded projects and resulted in authorship/co-authorship of various scientific articles in high-impact factor (Q1) journals in the areas of Plant Sciences and Environmental Sciences, as well as several oral presentations, one interview and two awards regarding the best oral and poster communication. Currently, B. Sousa is doing his PhD in Biology (FCUP), titled "Enhancing crop growth and yield under an ever-changing environment - the key role of Strigolactones", in collaboration with GreenUPorto-FCUP, LAQV-REQUIMTE and University of Minho.
