Shokhsanam Davlatboeva
PhD student
Shokhsanam completed her BSc in Biology at the National University of Uzbekistan. She then earned her MSc from the Erasmus Mundus Master Program in Plant Breeding (emPLANT+). In her first year, she studied Agricultural Biotechnology at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and in her second year, she focused on Crop and Plant Sciences at the University of Milan.
In her PhD project, Shokhsanam investigates the relationship between R-loop formation and alternative precursor mRNA splicing (AS) in plants.
