More Information:
Soledad Perez-Santangelo is a newly appointed lecturer in plant molecular biology at the School of Biological Sciences (SBS), University of Auckland, New Zealand (NZ). She completed her PhD at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she investigated the role of alternative splicing and mRNA decay in regulating circadian rhythms in Arabidopsis thaliana. In 2018, she moved to NZ for a postdoctoral position at the University of Otago, focusing on the photoperiodic regulation of flowering time in the model legume Medicago truncatula. Subsequently, she was awarded a Marsden Fast-Start grant from the New Zealand Royal Society to study the impact of naturally occurring variation in circadian rhythms in M. truncatula.
In February 2024, she established her lab at the University of Auckland, focusing on how the circadian clock integrates environmental cues and regulates plant physiology in legumes within the context of a changing climate.
