Clara Segarra-Medina

My PhD research was focused on understanding plant metabolomic adaptations to the combined stresses of salinity and high light. During my time at UCC, I developed a strong interest in circadian clock, which sparked my curiosity about temporal control of gene expression. Motivated by this interest, I pursued a postdoctoral position centred on circadian clock regulation, with the aim of expanding my expertise at the intersection of stress physiology and molecular timing mechanisms
