Dr Joana Amaral

Senior Research Associate Plant Physiologist

Research Overview

I am a postdoc researcher in Professor Elizabete Carmo-Silva’s lab at Lancaster Environment Centre (Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é, Lancaster, UK), which focuses on photosynthesis research.

My research interests include understanding plant responses to their surrounding environment and enhancing plant performance under different scenarios.

I have worked in several projects focused on understanding forest trees/woody species response to biotic and abiotic stresses using an integrated approach ¨C from physiology to Omics.

As part of the CAPITALISE project, I am currently studying strategies to improve photosynthesis for higher yielding crops based on Rubisco regulation by Rubisco activase.
