Sanchez Martin-Fontecha Elena - Postdoctoral fellow
Joined the group in 2021

Elena obtained her PhD in 2021 under the supervision of Dr. Pilar Cubas at the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC) in Madrid, Spain. Her research focused on strigolactone signalling in Arabidopsis, specifically studying the degradation of the strigolactone receptor AtD14 and its role in plant development. After completing her PhD, she joined Prof. Inge De Clercq’s lab, which focuses on Inter-organelle Stress Signalling, as a postdoctoral scientist. Currently, Elena holds a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, aiming to unravel the interactions between chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and mitochondria, with the goal of identifying the complex molecular mechanisms involved in inter-organelle communication.
