Daphne Jackson Fellow at the University of Glasgow in the School of School of Molecular Biosciences

Name: Dr Martina Klejchova
Field: Life Sciences & Biomedicine

Specialisms:

Plant ion transport
Machine learning

Research and qualifications:

BSc in Biology from the University of South Bohemia, Czechia
MSc in Biomolecular research from Masaryk University, Czechia
PhD in experimental plant biology from Charles University, Czechia
