During my studies, She gained the proper knowledge about plant protection and came out with an interest in alternative solutions to synthetic products for plant protection against fungal plant pathogens. During her Master’s thesis, She started research on extracts from algae and cyanobacteria as new plant bio-protectants and deepened my knowledge during the Ph.D. at the Banco Español de Algas (Spain) where She spent one year. Actually, She was working on the main bioactive components from algae and cyanobacteria, such as polysaccharides, for plant pathogen management.
