Biography:

Alessandra Renella is a Ph.D. student in Biology and Applied Sciences at the University of Molise researching the characterization and conservation of agro-biodiversity, particularly autochthonous legume ecotypes. In detail, supervised by Prof. Gabriella Stefania Scippa and Prof. Dalila Trupiano, she is studying the metabolomic profile of autochthonous legume ecotypes to explore their characteristics and support their valorization and, more in general, biodiversity conservation strategies. Ms. Renella obtained a master’s degree from the University of Molise in 2021, during which she worked on the physiological and biochemical responses of autochthonous bean ecotypes to abiotic stress.
